Q: Is your appendix useless?

A: Many evolutionists have said the appendix has no real function. In reality, however, the appendix not only produces many chemicals that control biological systems in the human embryo, it also continues to fill a number of helpful roles in the development of the immune system in the early decades of life.
By exposing white blood cells to antigens in the local environment of the digestive tract, those cells are prepared for their important jobs of antibody production.
Thanks to modern research revealing the appendix's important functions in the immune system, most doctors no longer routinely remove healthy ones, despite the persistent evolutionary belief that it would be "simpler to get rid of it."
Learn the usefulness of many other parts of the human body that people have dismissed as evolutionary leftovers.
