I was listening to an old No Such Thing As A Fish podcast and they were discussing the theory that motion sickness might be and old response to stop our ancestors from climbing too high in trees, and the swaying motion from the weak branches would bring on motion sickness. In situations like this, or any other situation where it occurs, what purpose does throwing up serve? Why is this the body’s response to these situations and not something else that doesn’t waste precious resources and nutrients?

How would getting dizzy way high up in the tree help anyone? You would miss a branch and death, would be the other way around any motion sickness would be bread out in a few generations.
That’s a crackpot theory if i ever hear one.
