Obviously pain (even severe pain) is essential to human survival. But why would the body generate a degree of pain that essentially cripples the individual, leaving them basically helpless? How is this beneficial?
In: Biology
Because the body is not designed to be perfect, it’s designed to be good enough.
If you’re ever in a situation where you’re experiencing so much pain that you can’t even move, your chances for survival in a pre-modern time is basically zero anyway, so it doesn’t really matter what your body does.
