15 Human Body Parts That We May Find Disappearing In The Future

By Andrew Alpin, 17 October 2017

11Toes

Scientists discovered that humans walked and balanced on their midline of their feet but now we have evolved to balancing more using our toes. Studies prove that the center of balance is shifting inward which means that humans relied on toes for balance but now they don’t need them all that much. In the future we may not have toes. 

 

12Coccyx

Also called the tail bone, it’s the remnant of a tail which humans once had when evolving from primates. Most animals use it for communication but humans don’t need it which is why it may soon disappear.

13Third eyelid

The common ancestor of birds and mammals used to feature a third membrane for eye protection and removing out dust and debris. Humans now retain just a tiny fold in the inner corner of the eye which will soon disappear.

14Darwin’s Point

Darwin’s point is a small folded point of skin that is near the top of each ear and is found in some humans. It could be the remnant of a larger shape that helped humans focus on distant sounds. It too may soon disappear.

15Subclavius muscle

This is one body part not needed. It is a small muscle that stretches under the shoulder and starting from the rib to the collarbone. If humans walked on all fours it would be useful but it is. While some have one, others have two.
