Vestigial organs are organs of the body which are smaller and simpler than those in related species. They have lost, or almost lost their original function.

Vestigiality is evidence for evolution, since they only make sense if evolution has occurred.[1] They were one of the puzzles of pre-Darwinian natural history. The puzzle vanished once biologists realised they once were working adaptations, in the ancestors of present-day animals.
