it really is amazing how learning about nature makes you realize that us humans are by far the least fucked up animals, except perhaps bonobos who seem to have things a bit more figured out than we do.

It's all a matter of perspective, other animals would think the same about us for such concepts as:

Menstruation - Heck, the whole pregnancy thing is basically body horror to almost anything but mammals regardless of the benefits. Even many woman think as such.
Our spines are a mess. They are not made for walking upright, and our knees are just as bad.
Choking on food is simply not possible for many animals. Why would you route air and food through the same place?

Now, compare this to let's say a jellyfish, which didn't even change that much for millions of years because it just works.
