Why Humans Are the Worst Breathers in the Animal Kingdom
00:00:00.000 | Humans, why do you think we are the worst breathers in the animal kingdom?
00:00:04.240 | What are we doing wrong?
00:00:05.400 | I won't tell you why I think we are the worst breathers.
00:00:08.460 | I will tell you why we are the worst breathers.
00:00:10.900 | So there's a number of different things.
00:00:12.700 | I'll start with the most obvious.
00:00:14.960 | And to me, it was the most revelatory thing.
00:00:17.160 | The fact that our faces have changed.
00:00:19.760 | Our mouths have changed.
00:00:21.500 | Our airways have changed.
00:00:22.900 | Our sinus cavities have changed in the past around 300 to 400 years.
00:00:27.160 | And this has been caused by industrialized food.
00:00:29.840 | We don't chew and everything's shrunk, which is why we have crooked teeth.
00:00:33.700 | And with crooked teeth, you have a smaller mouth, smaller mouth,
00:00:36.660 | smaller airway breathing problems.
00:00:38.700 | That's the first of a multifaceted series of reasons
00:00:42.900 | why we are such terrible breathers.
