I wonder if one were to clean up the code, removing all bloat, keeping only the relevant pieces, how would that human turn out?

Fixing our inverted retina would be one of the low hanging fruits:
>The vertebrate retina is inverted in the sense that the light sensing cells are in back of the retina, so that light has to pass through layers of neurons and capillaries before it reaches the rods and cones. In contrast, in the cephalopod retina the photoreceptors are in front, with processing neurons and capillaries behind them. Because of this, cephalopods do not have a blind spot.
