Except that it's not the woman's body that builds it, but the foetus's... the woman just hands over bricks and mortar but the planning and direction of construction is done by the future baby.

Now that's one amazing superpower! It's a real testament to the resilience and power of the human body.

I work in finance, I know basically nothing about programming. 90% of my work is currently in SAP, Excel or Outlook, and I barely touch my mouse. Considering most "super elite hackers" in movies are supposed to be the absolute top of their field, I'd be very disappointed if they did use a mouse, honestly.

Equally, a guilty feeling if you know work is really busy or there is loads to do at home when you don’t want to do it and then you feel guilty for not doing it

So as a girl mom I can tell people I grew a second vagina? If I keep having girls I can have my own vagina orchard.

No it is not. My therapist has specifially told me I need to have more days off because working too much contributes to depression

Also aren't we the only predators who demonstrate their teeth (aka smile) as a non-agressive gesture?

Yeah, but at the distance I can converse with another person, the difference is indiscernible.

There is definitely discusion among Christians and Jews at least whether Adam and his clone really existed or whether they were the first humans. The Catholics have made a statement saying that the Bible is congruous with evolutionary theory I think. I also recently read a hypothesis from Joshua Swamidas (https://www.amazon.com/Genealogical-Adam-Eve-Surprising-Universal/dp/0830852638) that Adam and his clone could have been created from dirt at the same time as other humans had evolved. This would be done with the divine goal of interbreeding.

I'm not sure how dogmating the Muslim faiths are about Adam and his clone being the first humans, but I think we can potentially take away a whole 1 billion of those that have a more nuanced view of the origin of human life that respects scientific evidence and divine revelation

We're also the same way about showing our teeth. Smiling is so natural to us, but showing your teeth like that is generally seen as a sign of aggression for most animals.
