Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

No periods
No balding
No nausea
No body odor
Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Who needs wider pelvises when you can break your child's collarbone instead?

Source: My collarbone broke when I was being born.

Nasty. How sturdy are infant bones? To they break easily? What's the healing process?

I'm not sure, I wasn't really paying attention since I was brand new lol.

But the doctor wasn't worried. In fact she told my parents that within a few months it would be impossible to tell my collarbone was ever broken.

The Internet says children typically wear a sling for 3 to 6 weeks for a broken collarbone. I'd assume my parents just swaddled me or something. I'll ask them.
