Hello Student,
These 'useless' body-parts, otherwise known as vestigial organs, are remnants of lost functions that our ancestors possessed. They once represented a function that evolved out of a necessity for survival, but over time that function became non-existent. A vestigial structure may retain lesser functions or develop minor new ones.
The examples of human vestigiality are numerous, including the anatomical (such as the human tailbone, wisdom teeth, and inside corner of the eye), the behavioral (goose bumps and palmar grasp reflex), and molecular (pseudogenes). Many human characteristics are also vestigial in other primates and related animals.
Some examples of vestigial organs are:
- Appendix
- Coccyx
- Wisdom Teeth
- Vomeronasal organ
- The outer ear
Hope you find this information useful.
Feel free to ask more questions.
Have a good day!!
