@JacksonWheat1 1. I question your second point, Jackson. From an evolutionary framework, it appears as if the appendix evolved independently, perhaps three separate times. That doesn't seem to comport with it being vestigial. https://t.co/jz0BBlUCKc

@BishopJaxi Of course! Both the appendix and tonsils were once thought vestigial (in my lifetime) and now they are known to have function in the digestive and immune systems respectively https://t.co/rnz5FRqczn

Human appendix is not a useless vestigial organ. When the human gut is affected by an illness that cleans out the intestines, the good bacteria in the appendix can repopulate the digestive system and keep the person healthy. See: https://t.co/IVpg8ryb4L
