How do goosebumps affect your body?
They are vestigial structures, meaning they have no great significance to us today. If you believe in Evolution: Mammals had fur that raised when cold/frightened. Now our hairs do the same, but there's not enough to act like an animal's coat. You do have muscles attached to every hair, if you didn't know.

Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?
Vestigial structures are considered evidence, but no more critical than any other line of evidence in Biology and palaeontology.

The same goes for human tailbones and embryonic branchial ridges, the wings of emus, and so on.
