The Story of Evolution It is also vestigial in the higher apes, and it is only when we descend to the lower monkeys and femurs that we see it approaching its primitive useful form. The Story of Evolution The hair on the body is a vestigial organ, of actual use to no race of men, an evident relic of the thick warm coat of an earlier ancestor. The Story of Evolution Finally, our vestigial tail—for we have a tail comparable to that of the higher apes—must be mentioned. The Story of Evolution Other reminiscences of this earlier phase are found in the many vestigial muscles which are found in the body to-day. The Story of Evolution The one fact that the ape has the same vestigial organs as man would, on a scientific standard of evidence, prove the common descent of the two. The Story of Evolution Other vestigial muscles are found in the forehead, the scalp, the nose—many people can twitch the nostrils and the scalp—and under the skin in many parts of the body. The Story of Evolution In any case the male breasts are vestigial organs. The Story of Evolution These are only a few of the more conspicuous instances of vestigial structures in man.
