Best Answer

The appendix

The Appendix likely was once a vital part of our digestive systems, helping us digest the raw meat we at as Neanderthals. However, in today's health-consious world, most people eat little to none raw meat, so the appendix serves no purpose.

The Appendix also is a common ailment, as when it bursts it must be removed or the toxins contained within the appendix will kill it's owner.
