I often wonder why humans seem to be having more and more issues within our existence. I study some aspects of it in our biology.

Humans are an anomaly in nature. Consider all of the illnesses, diseases, mutations and disorders... just the sicknesses and parasites in general that plague the wild kingdom. Plants, animals, etc... you may think that that is a phenomenally large task, counting and cataloguing all of that (and it is). However, all of those added together pale in comparison to the shear number of such things found in humanity.

Humans are profoundly imperfect. Humanity gets worse with each generation. Food, water and environment...we have caused it all to become shoddy and making us worse too. The living things that we have domesticated have a significant level of problems also; far more so than there natural counterparts. Domesticated European bees have 10 times as many problems with parasites and infections, for example. It has taken a tremendous effort to find a solution for colony collapse, to try and save our pollinators, and thus our food supply. Africanized bees escaped our control and thrive. North American bees have an almost idyllic population. The same is true for virtually every living thing dominated by civilization, but STILL those issues are small compared to the disorders, dismorphias and diseases of people
