Body structures that don't seem to have a function?
the appendix has no function There was an article on the internet recently that said that scientists think that the function of the appendix is that it stores bacteria so that if one's system is cleared of all "good" bacteria, the appendix can then start a new supply of those necessary bacteria.

Why do vestigial structures still exist in spite of natural selection?
