	Well ears are two things for most people but how about the people
who put more and more brass rings around the neck to lengthen it and
incidentally weaken it so that without the brass rings the head got floppy.

	Or the Chinese who bound the feet of their women as children to
be eligible for marriage to the intelligensia who did not want the wife
to run away?  And who fetishized the smell of the bound foot.

	Loads of maladaptive behaviors and the modern one is
sunbathing which was once good because it promotes Vitamin D
synthesis.  But since Coco Chanel who was a nicer person otherwise
women and men are urged to get sunburned to a nice Tan.  Of
course even if you don't do that very much, necessary exposure to
the  the sun will cause skin cancer.  Or binge drinking or binge drugging.
And you can buy Vitamin D very cheaply these days.
