Not Everthing Is Necesary

Male nipples: All fetuses have nipples, before testosterone makes each baby male or female. Ergo men’s useless nipples. Note that some men have even lactated or gotten breast cancer.
Wisdom teeth: Our jaws have gotten smaller, so wisdom teeth can’t fit anymore. Plus dental hygiene keeps our teeth from falling out and making room for the bulky molars.
Tailbone: When our ancestors no longer needed tails for balance, evolution turned them into fused vertebrae called a coccyx.

Any parts that you think they missed?
There are also the brains some people play with rather than exercising them properly.
Good point Larry…one of my fav quotes….”Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance”…..
