What is the most useless part of the human body?

Underarm hair.

Answer 3

the clitoris  

Answer 4

Toe nails.

Answer 5

Most people think it is the appendix.  There are 9 different appendicies in the human body.  The one people generally refer to is the mesoappendix or vermiform appendix which connects to the ileum which is part of the small intestine.  In fact, besides blood vessels, the appendix contains lymph vessels, nerves and often a lymph node which is part (lymph) of the immune system and works to fight off infection.  The tonsils are also part of the immune system.  I would have to say long hair.  The hair folicles coming out of your skin pores serve a purpose in heat regulation of the body but when hair is long, the ends serve absolutely no purpose except cosmetic.

the appendix, even though you can get sick with it removed. the tonsils are also an almost useless vestigial organ. both of which help prove the theory of evolution.

Answer 10

I would have to agree on th appendix

Answer 11

Wisdom teeth have no redeeming value that I could find.

The appendix, while not necessary for survival, has gotten a bad rap. It has recently has been cited as an important provider of natural flora (useful) bacteria. This is true for the tonsils as well, which are part of the lymphatic system, as is the spleen.
