As for the sleep thing...

I recently read The Dragons of Eden by Sagan about the evolution of the human brain. He goes into sleep a little and although im a bit shady on the details he talks about how sleep is probably a leftover advantage of our ape/early hominid ancestors. Sleeping at night prob gave some protection against their predators. He talks about how it isnt all that necessary to our survival however when we dont sleep our bodies produce some sort of substance that forces us to sleep. They have taken the blood from sleep deprived mice and put it in well rested mice and the well rested mice went to sleep. He explains how there are people today who only require 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night.

The ear is amazing because it does a fourier-transform, allowing us to differentiate frequencies and tune different sounds in or out.

Debilitating pain. I twist my ankle and now it's too painful to run away from the lion chasing me? Thanks evolution, thanks a bunch. We should just have a system of green and red LED's so you can tell where something is wrong on your body.

Pain is pretty important... better to twist your ankle and realize there is a problem and adjust to it than not feel pain and not know you are on your ankle at a bad angle and have the bones in your feet and leg snap...

Also if you really are being chased by a lion and twist your ankle im pretty sure the adrenaline would help u keep running.

I am pretty sure you can train yourself down to these kinds of times. Perhaps not 2 or 3, but 4 or 5 and never need any more. The problem is, I like lying in bed.
