The most amazing thing about the human body...\n\nReproduction? The heart? The brain? The digestive system? The circulatory system? Nah. None of these are the most amazing thing about our bodies, simply because these things can be done by other animals. The most amazing thing about the human body is the ability humans have to reason, to think creatively, and to act independent from a group. Basically, what sets us apart from animals is our ability to think through situations and come up with rational answers and solutions to problems.
