The perfect human body has the legs of an ostrich , the heart of a dog , and the eye of an devilfish , consort to anatomist Alice Roberts . And it ’s dead terrific .
With the help of anatomical creative person Scott Eaton and special effect designer Sangeet Prabhaker , Robertscreateda animation - size of it replica of herself that gear up many purpose flaws inherent to the human eubstance , Motherboardreports . Roberts unveiled the sculpture on April 23 at the Science Museum in London . On June 13 , the BBC relinquish adocumentaryabout the task .
Among the flaws Roberts ’s sculpture corrects are humans ’ inferior capitulum , spine , and lung . Roberts take over anatomy from reptiles , raspberry , and other mammal to create a Frankenstein - esque creature straight from the island of Dr. Moreau .
The sculpture has legs like an ostrich because , as Robertssayson her internet site , the human knee joint is complex and prone to failure . Like human beings , ostriches are bipedal , but they are far betterrunners . Bird - same lungs that keep air flow in one direction , not two , make running and other aerobic activeness easier for the perfect human being to manage . And a chimp ’s sturdy spikelet and a dog ’s centre ( which has more connected arteries , contribute to lower heart attack risk of exposure ) make Roberts ’s substitute self more resistant to injury and disease .
Roberts ’s ideal human dead body also has peel like a frog that can change tad ground on the surroundings , and large , bat - like ears that inflate healthy . Roberts also fixed human beings ’ backwards retina , which produce a naturalblind fleck , by take up from devilfish middle figure .
Perhaps most disturbing of all is the baby head pry out of the sculpture ’s marsupial pouch . Roberts says marsupial pregnancy would be far promiscuous on the human body and more commodious for parents on the go .
“ This could be a human convulsion for the future , ” Roberts says at the oddment of a prevue for her BBC documentary film .
