Profit?

Natural selection is a very sub-optimal algorithm. There's a lot of quirks to our bodies where the answer is simply "dice rolled one way and not the other but it was good enough either way."

That said: brain being near sensory organs like eyes and ears reduces latency and therefore improves reaction time. And said sensory organs being somewhat removed from the core of the body allows for greater degree of movement and therefore improved awareness of the environment.

The brain in the head evolved millions of years before mammals were even a thing. Also having both the brain and heart in the same spot will put a lot of mass and energy on the chest

I suspect that in humans this has something to do with prompt processing of sensory information. Eyes, ears, nose and tongue all are near the brain for a reason

your senses need to be as close to your brain as possible.

evolution knows more than you.

Commotio cordis. Stopping a heart is easier than you think.

Would be cooler to subdivide your heart into countless small hearts which have tier flow rate modulated via a nerve along significant blood vessels, linking to oxygen and co2 sensor at the lungs. Probably have the signal overridden by local sensors too.

If you could do it, have s distributed brain which writes in triplicate; if someone shoots your brain tissue, you have spare duplicates.

Employ a network of values along significant blood vessels, use the same flow rate modulating nerve to signal vessel damage to close valves to reduce blood loss.
Plenty of other ideas to make super soldier.

Have beats generated locally, then control system input changes beat rate. Thousands of years from now, this is what genetic engineering will be. Eugenics proper.

just evolve a better chest. lmao
