evolutionary constraints and trade-offs in human anatomy
Evolutionary constraints and trade-offs in human anatomy refer to the limitations and compromises that exist due to the evolutionary processes that have shaped the human body. These constraints and trade-offs arise because certain characteristics or traits may be beneficial in one aspect but can have negative effects on another aspect. Thus, the anatomy of humans has evolved with compromises and trade-offs, resulting in a range of physical attributes that may not always be optimal in every situation.
