Question

Why man is called as a moving museum?

Answer 1

During the course of evolution some organs remain in the organisms.We have studied about appendix in digestive system.In human beings it has no role to play in the process of digestin.But in herbivores like rabbit appendix plays an important role.Such type of organs which are not useful are called vestigial organs.There are nearly 180 vestigial organs in human beings.                                                                 For example:-pinna,hair or skin,mammary gland in human,etc.,Thats why human being is said to be a moving museum of vestigial organs.
