      In the game Mass Effect, the Krogan race has all these “backup” organs. They pretty much evolved to become incredibly resilient.

      But they also become alpha douches.

      Either way, I love those little guys.

      There are sure to be tradeoffs which would explain why not every animal have evolved similar stomachs. It’s probably expensive energy wise to maintain that acidity. It probably also makes it hard to maintain a healthy gut flora. Also imagine the burn if you vomit up stomach acid with pH 1.0

            Betcher’s Gland was present in the Primarchs, we’re looking at around 28,000 years.

        probably has a very thick mucus layer, plus a robust stomach to withstand the low ph.

        Yes, but they can projectile vomit as a defense mechanism. Imagine the possibilities.

      Human stomach acid is as low as PH 1.5

      We are descended from scavengers

      The acid we make is PH 0.8, it goes to 1.5 when mixed with the other gastric juices
