The Human Body is a Topologist’s Nightmare | Pod 127
This week, Julian explores whether animals can be allergic to humans, digging into all things histamine to find out if nature has ever collectively decided that people are, medically speaking, just too annoying to be around. Later, Trace investigates a deeply cursed question: how many holes do humans really have? Oh, and he also tackles the ACTUAL question of what it would be like if humans were born full of holes—think a walking, talking monstera plant, but flesh. Horrifying… and also quite unsanitary.
QUESTIONS
Julian: "Are there recorded cases of plants and animals being found to be allergic to humans?" from David
Trace: "What if humans were born with lots of holes in us? Not wounds, but like a monstera leaf. Could we run faster? Swim? Would that solve anything?" from Dalla from the Bay Area
