Vestigial organs are those which are useful for the past ancestors but now are utterly useless

1) Vermiform Appendix: Also called appendix, this thing is waste organ for human which has been proved important for herbivore animals which help in storing bacteria

2) Male nipples: you might see it strange but these are waste for men. this wasteful organs arised when in the womb as the we've been females at the start and then the sex is determined (that's the reason, you cant determine sex of the foetus early)

3) the tail bone: it may have been served its purpose but it is persistent and useless in us humans

DanushVarkur: And coming to your question ms. mansisaini281, yes I didn't say that its completely useless, I've said that its useless in humans because every human is not a herbivore, are they?
DanushVarkur: And coming to your question mansisalini281, I didn't say that they are completely useless, I've said that they are useless in humans
