Is larynx a vestigial organ?
Answers
The larynx commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the top of the neck involved in breathing, producing sound and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. The larynx houses the vocal folds, and manipulates pitch and volume, which is essential for phonation.
Vestigial organs are those which are perceived as having no apparent purpose, and are thus interpreted as being leftover, useless bits from our evolutionary past. These organs, like the appendix, were once used as evidence to support evolution when their functions were unknown. However, we now know there are no true vestigial organs, thereby dampening their apologetic impact for Darwinian evolution.2 Even the appendix has been revealed to be involved in the lymphatic and immune systems, which are especially important in early ages.
