The History Of Homo Sapiens And Purpose Of The Appendix
Homo sapiens are constantly evolving. You may not feel it happening personally, but it certainly is. We all still have an appendix that we don’t need. There was a time but that it served a purpose for us.
Way back when we were hunters-gatherers we would eat anything that we could find and were constantly on the go. We ate a very wide variety of vegetation that we no longer would even reflect of eating now and haven’t for thousands of years.
Back in those times it is believed that the appendix was an organ the size of the stomach and functioned according to the diets of our ancestors. Due to lack of use over thousands of years its size and function have deceased to the point of non-use.
There are other animals as well that still have an appendix but do not have a use for it. On the other hand there are animals such as the koala bear that do not eat meat but still make use of their appendix.
Koala bears eat only leaves and plants and use their appendix to break down the chemical makeup of those items. If humans ate more vegetables maybe we would develop a need for an appendix over Over again. It would take thousands of years but for us to evolve back to where we would be able to use our appendix.
Just because we no longer have a use for our appendix doesn’t mean that it is going to magically disappear from or body. It is something that was left with us from our past and isn’t the only thing that we have that we don’t use.
The appendix is useless to our bodies these days due to evolution. There are even people living healthy lives that for some reason have had their appendix removed all-together.
It is quite possible that one day none of humanity will have an appendix and it will just be something remembered in the history of the evolution of human anatomy.
