I've had several requests to review and delve into the science of A Centaur's Life, and I've finally gotten around to watching it so let the fun begin. These are just my thoughts on the series before I have fun looking into the science.

A Centaur's Life has a unique take on evolution in that it tries to play it straight for the most part, only changing it enough to allow for six limbs. In the process what does it get right, and wrong about evolution? Can humans really have 6 limbs?

But, say, I did learnt once in Physics class back in high school about how the skeleton and muscle structure of the limbs (analogue to mechanical levers) of human and many animals actually sacrified energy efficientcy for freedom of movement. So, hypothetically, if the centaurs, angels, etc. in the show had their inner structures changed, would the energy requirements became actually resonable? |

If the 6 limbed versions had cellular and other anatomical changes to increase efficiency that's really beyond my ability to speculate on as the show doesn't hint at what those changes could possibly be. Then there is the real posibility that a change to increase efficiency could also cause a negative effect. Case in point, a study just showed that a small population in Malaysia that basically lives on boats their whole lives has a larger spleen that allows them to stay underwater longer. The spleen stores extra red blood cells and helps the blood hold more oxygen. However a larger spleen is more likely to be damaged and a bleeding spleen is very bad for the body. |

I do remember that episode quite well, because it was around the time I finally giving up on Fairy Tail. The burning of the stone coliseum reminded me of the video that ISIS posted years ago about a pilot being burned alive in the iron cage. I still have nightmares imagining the poor sap's fat being melted and poured down his black skin. So maybe Hiro did make the better choice. I don't think I could stomach the aftermath scene had it been potrayed realistically. |

Sorry I missed last weeks post but I was moving across the country. I'm back with the Centaur's of A Centaur's Life. Enjoy some monster girl biology.
