The "butt-bone" is scientifically referred to as the coccyx (pronounced cok-siks) I believe it is the remnants of when our evolutionary ancestors had a tail. Gradually, over the course of millions of years, the tail shrank until what remains to this day is the coccyx, or "tail-bone".

The tailbone.

Scientific Name: Coccyx....No it's not the coccyx. That is the 'tailbone'. The 'butt bone' would be the ischium. It is part of the pelvis which is made up of the ischium the illium and the sacrum. We sit on the ischium.
