Ancestor Leftovers

Well, well, well, looks like we humans have more leftovers from our previous incarnations than I thought. I used to think they were just the tail and the appendix but according to divine caroline, we also used to be able to generate vitamin c (!!!) and detect pheromones. I never thought the male nipples, wisdom teeth and ability to get goosebumps were leftovers. :O

Also learnt this new word today - vestigial - which I would most likely forget in a few hours from now.
