The Appendix: Useful and in Fact Promising
|
Scientists have now found that the appendix DOES have a use and is NOT vestigial (left over from evolution). It helps to build the immune system and is a holding place for beneficial bacteria. Here is the link if you want to read about it: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090824/sc_livescience/theappendixusefulandinfactpromising
What �s ironic is that creationists have known that the appendix ALWAYS had a function. This could be a good discussion topic.

How charming! I �ve saved the link to read the topic carefully. It seemed impossible that the appendix had no function!
Thank you and ciao |

I �ve always known that the Appendix "DOES have a use" and that it had beneficial stuff for us. Now, i wouldn�t call all the extra exercises, extra information and explanations, bacteria, but maybe you natives know something i don�t know. I love it when there are even two of them and it says Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 (in my Raymond Murphy �s grammar book)

Oh, Ivona, so many appendixes, only one body per person (sorry if the Latin plural of appendix is different) |
