Scientists believed that the human body once used the appendix. I think it has something to do with the fact that humans used to have to eat more crude foods, harder to digest, etc. and that the appendix helped with this. It is no longer necessary, but we still have it as a vestigial organ.
Perhaps I'm thinking of something else though. Can anyone back this up?
edit: Sorry, I just have to say this: we DO NOT NEED an appendix. At one time perhaps, but not anymore. That's why it can be removed with absolutely no effects.

It is believed that the appendix had some function in humans many millenia ago. It is thought that back when we were hunting wooly mammoth and eating raw meat that the appendix helped in digestion. Now that things are cooked, seasoned, marinated, and are processed to some degree, the organ is not needed. It is what is called a "vestigial organ". Our little rudimentary tailbone is also vestigial. Don't believe me? Look at a skeleton in a medical text, labled "coccyx. You have a little tail.

Biologists are searching that the appendix ought to no longer be all that unnecessary; the micro organism in our intestine are needed for our existence, digesting meals, making amino acids, proteins, supplementations, etc. even as ailment or anti-biotics wipe them out, the appendix serves as a backup storehouse to fill up those critters. We ought to have multiple "aspects" that at this aspect haven't any clarification, yet technological know-how would not yet understand all there is to study about the human body.

Actually, The appendix has no VITAL function. There are functions of the veriform appendix that are beneficial to the immune system and the digestive system. These functions HELP your body, but since other areas of your body contribute to the same functions, the appendix is not necessary for you to sustain life.

Governor ! Observer ! Dissoluter ! is only logical conclusion should taken granted as far as the word 'GOD' is concerned.
Three forces which together prevailed throughout up-to eternity
some men of wisdom take above-said 'Trinity' essentially in personified form dare to name Brahmaa ! Vishnu ! Mahesh !
Try to search out fourth dimension which create the possibilities of existence to b seen in trinity beginning from Creation and passing through sustenance and dissolve to b in cycle once again as infrastructure making vicious circle 'Whole'. Perfection is not imposed but if u dare to consider the word 'Whole' then God must b perfect too. Perfection must not b taken beyond whole.
It is existential-existence that is whole and virtually perfect too.

It is said in history tht our features and organs are hereditary.The organ "Appendix" appears to be functionless in our body but it showed functional in the ancestor...u kno...ummmm....yes...u might know about the Stone age and everythin'.At that time appendix appeared to be functional in their body! This study can also be known as "Evolution" meaning 'to unroll'. 'k...now u might think wht kind of organ is Appendix...well..it is called as a 'Vestigal organ'. It is anorgan which appears to be functionless in an organism but can be shown tht it was functional in an ancestor. Another vestigal organ is the nictating membrane...a red covering at the side of yr eye...see...isnt tht also a functionless organ?

The appendix is rich in infection-fighting lymphoid cells, suggesting that it might play a role in the immune system.

We are a wonderful design. Without the appendix, poisons would enter our system and have no way of eliminating.
