Vestigial structures are evolution’s leftovers — body parts that, through inheritance, have outlived the context in which they arose. Some of the most delightful reminders of the common ancestry we share with other animals, they show that the building blocks of the human body predate our species by hundreds of millions of years.
Forty-two percent of Americans say that humans were created in their present form within the past 10,000 years — a percentage that hasn’t changed much since 1982, when Gallup started polling views on evolution.
Several lines of evidence, from the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and genetics, tell another story. But you don’t have to read all the research to find signs of our evolutionary history — you can see it in the vestigial structures in each of our bodies, like the third molars that no longer fit in our mouths. For a few other examples, check out the video above.

Poor baby😢
Thermite
goosebumps are not vestigial. they work.
liar
Just because we have some parts of a body and because pigeons get cold it doesn't prove anything. I'm sorry I tried to listened with an opened mind as I'm seeking where we are from but all I got is a bunch of medical facts that don't prove nothing. You're like the catholics give a bunch of facts which don't price anything. So I came to three conclusion that the theory of evolution is a bunch of nonsense
Vox 7 years ago: Biology and science.
Vox today: There’s 5000 genders.
Huh, I have that hand tendon
I can adjust my ears, so can my kids
I can adjust my vision to darkness.
Distance and inhancing the image to an extent.
I became an artist
why do people think that evolution disproves a god entity? It doesnt deny it, but it definitely denies every major religion that exists in the world. There must be some entity that created our universe, but its something we don’t understand yet. The creator of our universe is much more complex than any man made religion.
2:28 😭😭😭😭😭
This is not hard proof !!
Where is it ?
0:32 i can see it but only when making a fist
That’s not proof of evolution DiP-💩💩💩
This material is a source of creativity and innovation. A book I read with comparable themes guided my personal evolution. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood
They only "take" it because its the "least" developed ligament/whatever 😂
Yeah micro evolution is proven. Macro is not haha
i hate it how evolutionists think every similarity is a 'LINK"
PROVEN: Natural selection does not help survival. Nice video though.
This seems to be all geared to knowing already, we used to have ancestors some of them were 100yr old , they were older than me, and im old were not trying to figure all this out…..and yes there was alot going on before current mess
The theory of evolution-slime plus time is a load of hogwash
I had one, SOMEONE STOLE IT!. Oh, it's still there, but the fats hides it.
But does it grow? and if so how long?
So I am Suppose to live on a Tree 🤣❤️
My niece was born without an appendix. Apparently some kids are being born without them now since we don’t need them anymore.
Nope.
What a brilliant informative video…. thank you and Huzzah!!! 😊
Is it only me with every single one of these uniqueness!
Creationists are FOS and this proves it
Oh how foolish people are when they reject the truth. There are no vestigial body parts.
Through evolution people are not developing Wisdom teeth, 3rd molars.
um…I can feel it the palmaris in my right arm. I just can't see it.
Why did evolution stop!!!!!!
The panoramic X-ray is upside down to confuse the viewer.
I'd like to keep all my muscles thank you
Read the bible
Boy I’m really glad we don’t torture newborns like this anymore. Sheesh
I watched the video with real curiosity and said, this time I will understand that evolution is true. Nothing but disappointment. The most absurd aspect is that living things change their genetic material into intermediate forms in order to develop different organs, without forming a new generation in the exact order it should be, this is complete nonsense.
Allah zaidi
That is one more sign of devil. Evil and bad. Must it be in this world. The devil put a lot of tempting houxes in our way in life. But in good and wise mind, you tell the devil that he had better to research him self what have make him evil. What make good and wise, the oposite emotions and opinions. What aged was the child? Too young. Obviously. That to force kids to hard prestations became a normal rutin. Otherways the child had to be alone. And in gangs he maybe be teased and bully. Is it a forced thought to drive your child to prestages that are for grown people. Thats not your problem. You do like we ask.
