If we as humans were to have "evolved" into what we are today, why hasn't pooping been made easier and cleaner?

Well first I'd like to point out that "pooping" has gotten MUCH cleaner and easier over the course of our planet's history. The first microorganisms expelled 'poop' through their skin all the time, so they were essentially covered in poop. Once more complex life evolved, most organisms would expel waste through the same orifice through which they ingested food, essentially vomiting poop up. Both of these would be looked upon as repulsive today, and have been bred out of existance in more complex life forms. Evolution is a very simplistic process with only one definition of success. If you pass on your genes to the next generation by breeding and having your offspring survive, you succeed. The way we expel waste today is inoffensive to mates (Unless you do it while they're there) and does not prevent people from passing on their genes, therefore it is unlikely that it will be bred out of existance any time soon. The waste has to go somewhere.

It has become more obvious to me, the older I get, that although my poops are easily and quickly passed, requiring the minimum of cleaning, I am definitely in the minority. Maybe it's the processed garbage we have been eating for the last 30 years or so that is the problem, and not evolution.

The worst thing that eve happened to humanity was the toilet. Now there are usually no consequences - normally you don't have to even think about it- even the cleaning supplies are supplied for you. We don't even know better then to hike away from the village to go. We don't think about eating too much or the wrong foods - because its so easy to take care off. People are lulled into a false sense of completion. Of course now we think that wiping are asses is too much work. You need something to be messy - to remind of your roots. Personally I think a beautiful woman with a slightly dirty ass is sexy

Firstly, we are not a finished product, we are not the ultimate 'perfect' life form, and as such, are still evolving Secondly, as forsaken said, there was once a time where life excreted waste products through what was essentially their skin, then it became a specific orifice, in many it was where the food went in, and now today, most animals pass waste out of the anus, usually down the back, so it isn't so obstructive. Thirdly, for the most part, we are accelerating our own evolution artificially (replacing advanced genes with technology instead), and as such, in many developed countries it is very clean, and very easy. Seriously, go out to the country side and try going without a toilet, if you think using a toilet is messy and difficult, you have no idea how much worse it can get :P lol

it is actually - you just have to eat the right food! eating chocolate and faty foods clog you up and make you constipated (not a good thing) if you eat alot of fruit and veg or anything that contains fibre your more likely to have a more relaxing poo because fibre isn't needed by the body but it helps get rid of all the clogged up poo in you intestines!
