# The Theory of Evolution dictates that all organisms descended from single-celled bacteria. Considering that bacteria are, and always have been, the most successful group of organisms, covering all areas of the globe in some of the most extreme environments, why would it have been advantageous to evolve into organisms that are so much more limited to the environments they can inhabit? Surely, staying as bacteria would be far more advantageous, due to their tolerance of extreme conditions, quick reproduction time, etc.

# Evolution cannot explain why tapeworms exist since parasitism is worse than mutual cooperation. This is because parasitism would mean they will have to destroy their host and have less opportunity to evolve while those that cooperate with other organism will evolve in much faster speed and overtake their cousins.

# Body odor, especially during long periods of not washing in nature, can become very pungent and easily detectable by predators. At the same time, over 80% of East Asians have the ABCC11 gene, which causes the body to not produce body odor from armpits.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kuo |first=Kaiser |date=2019-07-08 |title=Why Chinese people don't need deodorant |url=https://thechinaproject.com/2019/07/08/kuora-why-chinese-people-dont-need-deodorant/ |access-date=2023-11-21 |website=The China Project |language=en-US}}</ref> There is no reason that this trait would not have been advantageous to evolve from the get-go by the first humans, or at least have spread to the other races tens of thousands of years ago in an evolutionary scenario.
