Body structures that don't seem to have a function?

One example of a body structure that doesn't seem to have a function is the human appendix. This small, pouch-like organ located near the junction of the small and large intestines has historically been considered a vestigial structure with no clear purpose in modern humans. Other examples include remnants of the tailbone in humans and wisdom teeth, which are often considered vestigial structures that served a purpose in our ancestors but are less functional in present-day humans.

Just as a side note.... I don't think the male nipples have a true function either!!
