Human Vestigial Organs and Functions: 1-5ġ. Recent findings on those organs are also provided. This article on human vestigial organs and functions lists 15 such organs and functions that were (or are still) considered vestigial. Of course, modern research is gradually proving that the organs that were once thought to be vestigial have some role to play in our body. However, many biologists now say that there are no vestigial organs in human body and those so-called vestigial organs functions are not yet known to humans.

It was first mentioned by Charles Darwin in his book – “The Descent of Man (1890)”.


Some biologists say that these vestigial organs are proof of our evolution. Vestigial organs are the organs which are now “useless” or “non-functional”.
