Mankind has made a big leap in the development of medicine, everyday life and technology over the past millennia. Now, much of what was previously necessary for survival has faded into the background. Such changes also affect our anatomy – according to scientists, some organs and structures may gradually disappear, because they do not perform important functions.
One of the most noticeable transformations is the loss of body hair. Previously, they warmed and protected from the sun, but today their role is minimal. In the distant future, they may disappear completely.
Wisdom teeth may also disappear. They helped ancestors chew hard and raw food, but today, with the development of cooking and the reduction of jaws, wisdom teeth have become problematic. They are removed, and in some people they do not grow at all.
The tailbone will also soon disappear altogether. It helped maintain balance, and today it supports individual pelvic muscles, but no longer has sufficient functionality. It is also easily injured, so it is considered an unnecessary element.
The appendix used to help digest rough plant food, but today its importance is minimal. It is often removed, so it may soon disappear.
The ear muscles may also disappear. They used to help our ancestors navigate by sound and react to danger in time. Today this is not necessary, so they will soon be gone.
Let us recall that artificial intelligence helped a couple conceive a child.
