Evolution Gone Wrong is an eye-opening look into why our bodies work--or don't--the way they do. From blurry vision to crooked teeth, ACLs (anterior cruciate ligaments) that tear at alarming rates and spines that seem to spend a lifetime falling apart, it's surprising that human beings have beaten the odds as a species.
