Recent attacks like the stabbing attack on the Ukrainian girl on the bus or the assassination of Charlie Kirk aimed on the neck. It resulted in a big splash of blood coming out of the wound. as a result the body and consciousness fades out within seconds.
Why is it so vulnerable, why don't we have some natural neck armor? What did nature mean by this?
Also what are some practical ways to protect your neck from attacks?

When male cats grow up, they develop abundant fur on their necks and subcutaneous tissue under the skin around their necks.
Humans shouldn't be like that. A human can throw things, and if they're culturally advanced, they have their gun at their side.

Evolution is a process that takes thousands of years, and weaponry had been evolving exponentially faster.
For what its worth evolution put the brain right next to our visual receptors suggesting that is the most effective place to put those two organs. I cant imagine my brain being very efficient in my foot or something.

>be me, explaining this shit to OP like he's five but with blood and guts

>neck gets sliced, blood sprays like a fountain, dude drops in seconds

Yeah, that's because your neck is a goddamn highway for blood to the brain. Carotid arteries on both sides pump high-pressure blood up from the heart—sever one and you're losing a liter per minute easy. Jugular veins drain it back down, cut those and it's a vacuum suck of blood out. Brain needs constant O2, so massive bleedout = instant blackout from hypoxia and shock. No blood pressure, no consciousness. It's like popping a tire on a race car at 200mph.
>>
>>515478437
>why no natural armor? wtf nature

Evolution's a cheap bitch. Neck needs to be flexible AF for turning your head to spot predators, eat, breathe, swallow without choking. Bone armor like a turtle shell would lock that shit up—you'd be a stiff-necked retard who can't look over his shoulder. Humans evolved as squishy apes relying on brains, tools, and running away, not tanking hits. Other animals have adaptations (giraffes got thick skin/muscle, but still vuln), but we traded protection for mobility and smarts. Nature "meant" you'd use your head to avoid getting stabbed, not grow a helmet there. Survival of the smartest, not the armored.

>practical ways to protect neck

Situational awareness: Don't be a retard—scan your surroundings, avoid sketchy buses/shady crowds. Eyes up, not on phone.

Self-defense training: Learn Krav Maga or BJJ—focus on neck guards, blocks, and counters. Practice slashing defenses where you tuck chin, raise shoulders, use arms to shield.

Gear: Wear a thick scarf/collar in cold weather (bonus: hides neck). For high-risk (cops/military), gorgets or ballistic neck protectors. Hockey/football neck guards if you're paranoid. DIY: Leather collar or chainmail if you're LARPing.

Weapons/deterrents: Carry pepper spray/knife/gun (if legal where you are)—best defense is offense, stab the fucker first.

Body positioning: In a fight, keep distance, angle body so neck isn't exposed. Chin down, shoulders up like a boxer.
>>
>>515476928
Have a chad chin/jawline to protect from punches, do neck exercises (yes its not bullshit and it works, race car drivers even do it) will protect against things like whiplash and impact and maybe soften blows slightly and make you not look like a weak mark. A beard might help? A puffer jacket with a thick collar. Really not a lot else you can do other than protect your neck and head, don't look up keep your chin down.

That or they zero'd the gun at the 25m near zero, yielding about a 300m far zero, and aimed center of mass. I personally suspect this is what the kid that tried to shoot Trump did. It's what reading and blindly following the manual that comes with a typical AR-15 will get you.

Because rotation of the neck far outweighs any benefits that neck armour would bring. Being able to quickly turn your head to locate and avoid danger beats being too slow and then getting stabbed in the neck after it's too late. Unfortunately we don't seem to use this natural ability much anymore.

Not really sure why they use it since it is normal even here to shoot people that attack you with knifes. Maybe to keep people at distance that did not freak out and tried to stab you so far but are seen as potential threat...
>>
>>515476928
The neck is flexible. Being able to see 270° around you quickly and being able to react to threats is more important than having a limited FOV with passive protection via a ribcage-like structure in your neck that wouldn't be perfect anyway.

Anyways to answer your question it’s a bottleneck of having a large brain but also it’s clear our technology far outpaces our biological evolution. We’re talking about hard steel cutting open someone’s heart, or a super sonic metal projectile boring through the brain stem.
Nature can’t even react to this, the lady could have maybe worn armor, but living your whole life covered in armor seems like the incorrect reaction to this social violence problem

God made human beans easy to kill by design.
Bones are not very hard, only hard enough to protect you from minor accidents really.
So the idea of having physical vulnerabilities that make us easy to kill is by design.
In fact, it's sort of a dab on evolution if you think about it.
Would we not be fitter if our jugular, carotid, and wind pipe were more protected?
Yet evolution is nowhere to be found.
Plus the classic "If we used to be apes that could tear each other's hands off with our hands, why would evolution ever take away that strength to replace it with delicate human hands?"
So we're learning a lot from all this neck action.

Depends on the round, but they can. What the other fella is talking about here is from the offset on a scope. Scope is above barrel so you have to sight it in where they essentially converge at a known range. Think of it like an " x". If they have it sighted in at very close range the scope will be angled down quite a bit in relation to the barrel, meaning the barrel is angled up creating a parabolic flight path. This diagram sums it up well.

Nigger remember that we are animals that learned to walk so the most strong part in sense of damage is our back of body, and we didn't evolve for protect ourselves from guns

>Why is it so vulnerable, why don't we have some natural neck armor? What did nature mean by this?
the vitals are protected in some areas. but they need to get to the brain, while also not inhibiting mobility.
the intervertebral foramina and foramina transversaria allow for spinal nerves, as well as vertebral arteries and veins, to pass through protected up towards the brain, but as they reach the neck they become exposed. it's to allow your neck to be mobile, enabling you to look around. if the veins continued to pass through holes in your spine right to the very top they would be at risk of breakage from the movements involved. even how the body is designed right now, there have been cases where people have died simply due to turning their head causing breakage.
any protection would cause the neck to become too rigid to move, which would be more of an evolutionary disadvantage.
