Human beings are near-perfect animals. We are exquisitely adapted to our way of life: to survive and reproduce in our terrestrial habitat and agricultural-mechanized-technological ecological niche.

Like our primate cousins, human beings have reasonably good color discrimination, stereoscopic vision, sense of balance, acceleration and humor, and adequate olfaction. We also have opposable thumbs, dexterous hands, a bipedal gait, and an immense brain capable of virtually infinite learning and inspired thinking.

But our major flaw is we all die like dogs.
