- That's kind of cool, what are other examples of vestigial Structures.
- A vestigial structure is various cells, tissues, and organs in a body which no longer serve a function. The reason we sometimes grow wisdom teeth is because our ancestors adapted to their environment and since they often ate chewy plants or uncooked meat, they grew a third setour of molars
