The evolutionist claimed that the appendix was not a useful organ that came from a evolution phase before the human kind. Now, Duke University immunologist William Parker and his colleagues have proposed a theory: that it's a safe house for the helpful bacteria in our gut. They've found that the appendix is especially rich in these good bacteria. And the organ's thin, narrow shape may shut out harmful infections. So this is another fail in the evolution theory.

Both the colon and the attached appendix are part of the digestive system. But the appendix has other functions that are not part of that system. It is thought by some that it may be involved in the immune system. Researchers in the United States say the appendix produces and protects good germs for the gut by "rebooting" the digestive system. The team of immunologists at Duke University Medical Center say the human digestive system contains massive amounts of bacteria most of which are good and help the digestion of food.

Is the appendix part of the endocrine system?
The role of the Appendix is still a mystery to science, but some recent research has led some scientists to believe it is part of the fetal endocrine system, helping to support the homeostasis of the fetus. This is not the case after birth, and the appendix starts to fill with lymphoid tissue. This has given scientists the idea that the Appendix is part of the Immune System.
