why do we have

[zzxxee]

tonsils
apendix
when the modern human body can survive without them?
if we evolve over time why do we still have them when there is clearly no need

[ThePlayer]

Maybe you should duplicate this question and put the other in science zzxxee ! Interesting question though , ill be following it to hear the replies !

[4getmenot]

we used to use it when diet was different and humans ate more rufffage

[4getmenot]

or roughage lol

[zzxxee]

but we got ris of excess hair as we have evolved but not our appendix and our tonsils

[ummmm]

Or our gallbladder.

[zzxxee]

[Mailmutt]

Clearly not seen my neighbour then!

[4getmenot]

[zzxxee]

*got rid

[ummmm]

I don't think the spleen is very essential either.

[sn�gs]

And do we really need our 'Uvula'... the dangly thing that hangs down from the back of our throats...

[jojojojoanne]

what other inner organs/body parts on humans have become extinct?

[SuDFB]

The uvula plays a key role in the articulation of the sound of the human voice.

Also the uvula functions in tandem with the back of the throat, the palate, and air coming up from the lungs to create a number of guttural and other sounds. Uvular consonants are not found in most dialects of English, though they are found in many Semitic, Caucasian, and Turkic languages, as well as several languages of Western Europe such as German, French and many Celtic languages.

ummmmm the spleen is quite useful if you ever watched Shane die in Home & Away!! lol. You can live without it but it does help fight infections

[ummmm]

Some men don't use their brains....

[ummmm]

That's why I said not essential. In this day and age of anti biotics.

[4getmenot]

whata uvula got to do with anything. You dont get that taken out do you?

[zzxxee]

do we reall y need our eyebrows after all some people get rid of them compleatley and tatoo them on instead?

[ThePlayer]

Some men don't use their brains....
