Vestigial Structures


A vestigial structure is any part of the body that has lost its original function over time because of evolution. Human body is a good example of a vestigial structure because it is not a needed or used part of the human body. Other examples of vestigial structures include the appendix, tonsils, ear muscles, and male nipples.
