You know, you would think with natural selection, that humans, as well as other species, would evolve to have painless, comfortable childbirth. It seems like those who had genes for easy childbirth would procreate more often and pass those genes on, and that painful childbirth would eventually go the way of the dinosaur!

But for that we would have to pick a mate on their physical attributes for procreation and not on weather we liked them or not.
But yeah I agree we should have evolved a bit better, after all joeys are born tiny and kept in the pouch to continue development, then they just lift out when they are ready!

well, not necessarily. As time went on, more and more of the eligible mates would have the genes for easy childbirth, so the chances of you procreating with someone who had those genes would increase and increase until like now, the chances of you procreating with someone who has the genes for a nose is 100%, but at some point in history, we didn't have noses. (even if it was just when we were amoeba.)
