Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of vestigial organs in humans usually include the appendix, the coccyx (tail bone), and the tonsils. Body hair, wisdom teeth, nipples on males, nictitating membrane of eye, tonsils are also the vestigial organs of humans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Charles Darwin listed a number of putative human vestigial features, which he termed rudimentary, in The Descent of Man (1871). These included the muscles of the ear; wisdom teeth; the appendix; the tail bone; body hair; and the semilunar fold in the corner of the eye.
Detailed explanation-3: -1: Vestigial appendix: In humans the vermiform appendix is a vestigial structure; it has lost much of its ancestral function. There are also several reflexes and behaviors that are considered to be vestigial.
Detailed explanation-4: -Function of the Coccyx Although the tailbone is considered vestigial (or no longer necessary) in the human body, it does have some function in the pelvis. For instance, the coccyx is one part of a three-part support for a person in the seated position.
