I've heard that multiple hearts would actually cause more problems than fix them. Why is this?
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

An unlimited number of stem cells. That would pretty lead to bunch of invulnerable and immortal people.
It was an honor
^^^ The only reason a country would have a non-negligible shortage of a gender is if one is generally denied healthcare and discriminated against in other more unpleasant ways.
Polite smartass.
A heart takes up a lot of energy, and more hearts = more demand. That and all the wiring involved would make them more trouble than they're worth. Why exactly mammals can't regrow limbs is not fully understood. This too is a big energy consumer and it seems that evolution took the easier route with the larger vertebrates by omitting major regeneration. Stem cells could be the key to recovering that ancient ability, and much more.
Like I said, the axolotl is unique in that it has shown to have an incredible rate of successful organ transplants. Scientists have transplanted hearts, livers, lungs and all kinds of tissues from one individual to another and they've all healed perfectly without any immunosuppresants or antibiotics. See here.

I've returned from the depths to continue politely irritating the good people of TV Tropes.(◕‿◕✿)

One just might
Improved ability to sequester large sequesters large numbers of red blood cells in the spleen which are dumped into the blood during times of exertion stress, yielding a higher oxygen transport capacity. This must be coupled with a stronger heart to cope with the thicker blood when the situation demands it. Dogs and horses do this, humans could do this too but very insignificant.
Improved nerve for better reaction time.
Improved muscles for better strength.
If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?

I would prefer theories as to how we would get improved muscles and stuff instead of just stating that (cause it's pretty obvious.)

Sorry, all I know is that it could be better. What do you think of the first idea?

That one's fine.

Something like that, yeah.

Multiple organs in general would cause more trouble.
lets just see were evolution is taking us.......no toes.....

actually, the toes still perform an important function in balance.

Some creature have the ability to switch their gender, that be very useful for people. Especially in reproduction if a country is having a shortage on the other gender.
Also some kind of control over are hormonal production, and body activity. It be useful to have something like adrenaline on call, or be able to increase of decrease testosterone and such.
