It doesn't have a job in the human body, the fact that it is very large in grass eating animals suggests that it used to play a part in the digestion of cellulose (something we can't now digest which is why eating grass is not recommended!). We have evolved to not need it, which is why it is so small in humans compared to other omnivores.

As an aside, I've always suspected that it is a repository for carrots. Have you ever noticed that when you vomit there is always carrot in it, even if you've eaten no carrot for days... I reckon it is stored in the appendix until needed for vomiting. But that is just a vague theory and by no means fact!
