One of our distant ancestors used their appendix to aid in the digestion of plant matter. Sure we don't need it anymore, but no one ever said evolution was smart or neat, merely effective.
Unless our environment changes radically so that for future generations the abscence of an appendix would prove an advantage (ie increase our chances of living long enough to have offspring), then there is no reason to suppose the damn thing is going anywhere anytime soon.

The appendix is redundant! so a procedures as we are able to tell, that's a actuality. Are you declaring that purely braindead morons and self righteous fools state information! playstation The human body, staggering with the aid of the indisputable fact that's in a lot of thousands and thousands of procedures, become not designed. yet another actuality! I stand surprised at your conceited and wilfull lack of expertise!

in the olden days, people needed appendixes to help digest tough food, but in the days of overly processed who knows what, there's really no need for it.

i think it has a purpose being inside our body, it strain tiny waste that we have eaten. when my brother have appendectomy when he was small, he was so sick and almost die, the doctor remove it, containing tiny seeds and among other tiny waste in a small little sac.

We don't know what it for now. maybe it's evolution. I think it should be useful, but we don't' know it.

They just don't know what use it has for us.
It might not have any use, they just don't know yet.
