If you could redesign the human body

That's how ducks do it.

A lot of the "problems" are abilities we've lost over time.

A few others are things we may not have had but close relatives do.

our ancestors that laid eggs on land excreted nitrogen in an insoluble form. So less fluid needed and less smelly.

Things like needing vitamin C because the gene is broken. Nutrition would be a lot easier if we hadn't lost the ability to generate vitamins and co-factors and stuff. The Gelda baboons can eat grass, boring but cheap.

So are something like 70% of our genes for smell. Then again being able to smell more yukkie things might not be such a good thing

*wants a prehensile tail*

On the sexual side we are the best endowed of all primates in both absolute and relative terms. And most of our ancestors and even todays aquatic mammals have internal genitals. Actually everyting that isn't a mammal regrows teeth as needed. And today's amphibians and some lizards are quite adept at regrowing limbs and tails, not to mention the ability of most large reptiles to go months without food, almost certainly genetic traits that we've lost.


If we were smaller, like cat sized, we wouldn't need to fly we could rid on birds. And being cat sized we could probably survive a fall as we'd have a much lower terminal velocity.

Polydactyl cats exist, some even with opposable thumbs , add a gliding ability to that and you have the makings of a pretty nifty body, just needs something sharp on the tail.
