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

Charles Darwin in his “The Descent of Man” identified 15 body parts that he described as useless. Even though Darwin’s catalog wasn’t exactly complete, there are several body parts that aren’t really needed. Take a look at 15 body parts not needed and may soon vanish in future.

1Body hair

Although our eyebrows keep the sweat away from our eyes, the other hair on body parts serve no purpose. Males and females soon may evolve into human beings with o chest hair, facial hair etc.
