The reason we have an appendix is unknown. I twas once thought that it could have helped our ancestors digest food more easily.
The reason for our (humans) appendix is unclear. It may produce bacteria to fight off illness.

∙ 10y agoNo, an appendix is NOT useless. It stores extra waste. But you can live without one. Take me for example. NONE OF YOU ITERNAL ORGANS ARE USELESS. They were made for a reason.
The appendix is actually the only way your large intestine is able to survive an infection (diarrhea). Any good bacterium survives in the appendix and once the infection passes by, the surviving bacterium can restore balance to the large intestine. So really, the appendix is a life saver unless you want to live with diarrhea the rest of your life.
