can you name a vestigial organ or function?
hint; there are several of them! & you dont have to just name ones in humans. you can name ones in other mammals or aves or etc!

vestigial- a small, functionless structure that was once well-developed in an organism's ancestors but which has been reduced during the course of evolution.

here i'll give you one: goosebumps. when we get scared, goosebumps form. in other animals, it's used so they can puff up their hair & look bigger. with us, its useless!
now your turn!
