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?

Throwing up is a very uncomfortable response to something that could potentially be deadly. I’d rather throw up than die
