Why do humans have a tailbone? Darwin's Tubercle? Wisdom Teeth?
Here's a more exhaustive list:

Why do whales have vestigial skeletal hind legs? Snakes?
Were they designed-in too?
All higher lifeforms are in a constant state of evolution. Consequently none of them are in their final forms. If humans continue to exist they will look vastly different in another 500,000 to one million years. Maybe by that time seals will be completely ocean-dwelling animals.

Another wonderfully pisspoor design of the human body is that we are the only mammal that can not swallow and breathe at the same time. This is due to our voiceboxes which sit much lower than other mammals. It was an ad-hoc evolutionary trade off between being able to develop speech but unfortunately have the tendency to choke to death.
Other animals have no problem swallowing and breathing simultaneously.
That's a dang good thing (swallow and breathe at the same time) because it's bad manners to speak with a mouth full of food.
