The nerve going down around the heart artery also applies to the giraffe. It does the exact same thing from brain to heart and around that artery the back up to the throat.

I have seen creationists holding bananas and declaring that they are the perfect size for human hands and proof of intelligent design. DUH ... that banana took centuries to design and the fruit company has a patent for designing it.

    I loved learning about the laryngeal nerve in giraffes from the video by Richard Dawkins. I think the PBS show Your Inner Fish covered it too.

    Edit: I may be wrong about Your Inner Fish referencing the laryngeal nerve, but I'm currently re-watching it anyway.

    I remember it being related to gills as well. The nerve just passed by a gill artery, it was all basically neck, but when the body changed the nerve was still looped around the artery which was located near the heart.
