Vestigial Traits
A few weeks ago I read an article on why people’s fingers get pruney in water , and it also mentioned a few other traits (such as goose bumps and yawns) that we have, but which are now redundant. And I realized that these vestigial traits (“vestigial traits – anatomical adaptations that the human body evolved for a specific purpose, but which are now redundant”) are traces of our past that are still visible or present in our bodies, but which are no longer used or needed – and thus are relevant to my blog. Then I found an interesting article about 10 such vestigial traits that we have.
