Your Appendix Isn’t Useless: New Scientific Theory Gains Ground
Remembering back to my days as a student of human anatomy and physiology, I recall clearly our lecture on the human appendix. The appendix was basically seen as a benign, but essentially useless leftover of human evolution. In some people, at some times, it would inexplicably grow inflamed and acutely painful. The remedy?

Then, back in 2007, researchers put forward an interesting theory about the appendix. They argued that it did serve a purpose. The appendix, they said, is a repository for beneficial bacteria, providing support for bacterial growth and facilitating the re-population of the gut with good bacteria in the event that the intestinal tract is “purged” following exposure to a pathogen.
