Question

Give any two examples of vestigeal organs in human beings.

Answer 1

• Appendix: A small pouch attached to the large intestine, which was once used for digesting cellulose in ancestral herbivores but has lost its main function in humans.
• Coccyx (Tailbone): The remnant of a tail from primate ancestors, now serving as an attachment point for muscles but no longer used for balance or movement.
