This document discusses vestigial structures as remnants of organs or characteristics that were once functionally important for ancestral organisms but have reduced or lost importance in present-day organisms. It provides examples of vestigial structures in humans like the tailbone and wisdom teeth. It also discusses how vestigial structures provide evidence for evolution by showing common ancestry between related species through homologous structures that have varied over time. Finally, it lists some vestigial structures found in other animals like whales, moles, and flightless birds.
