Scientists have been unable to find any true use for the appendix, since people who have it removed go on to live healthy, normal lives. There are speculations that primates used it to digest leaves, or that it harbors good bacteria for the gut. However, people who have it removed or were born without one do not appear to have decreased GI function. I think that the have no purpose for the human body. it is removed mostly because it is infected and doctors do not want the infection to spread.
