How do vestigial structures support evolution?
Vestigial structures support evolution by demonstrating that certain anatomical features once had important functions in ancestors but have lost their original purpose over time. These remnants, such as the human appendix or the pelvic bones in whales, suggest that species change and adapt over generations. The presence of these structures indicates a shared ancestry with organisms that still use them, serving as evidence for the process of natural selection and evolution.
