Why We Still Have Tailbones
Even though we don’t have tails, we still have a tailbone? Does the tailbone even do anything? Why do we still have it even though we have clearly branched away from our ape ancestors? In this episode, I will take you behind the science of vestigial traits, why we have them, and why we still have these features.
Here’s an article! It is called “What Are Vestigial Features?” (https://spectacularsci.com/2024/01/what-are-vestigial-features/)
Here’s an activity! It is called “Vestigial Souvenir Scavenger Hunt!” (https://spectacularsci.com/2025/03/vestigial-souvenir-scavenger-hunt/)
