10 Useless Human Body Parts

Otherwise called the tailbone, it’s believed to the remnant of our pre-historic ancestor’s body part. Also found in Apes, the Coccyx is the final hanging segment of our vertebral column. It is comprised of three to five rudimentary vertebrae.

So why exactly did we need a tail in ancient time? Scientist believe that the tail helped in communicating and balancing our structure but since we humans learned to walk upright, the tail slowly ceased to exist leaving only a speck of reminder hanging useless. But despite the removal of the tailbone is quiet a task since it’s attached to a number of intricate ligaments, muscles and tendons.
