Darwin was familiar with the concept of vestigial structures, though the term for them did not yet exist. He listed a number of them in The Descent of Man, including the muscles of the ear, wisdom teeth, the appendix, the tail bone, body hair, and the semilunar fold in the corner of the eye.....
During the course of evolution some organs remain in the organisms.We have studied about appendix in digestive system.In human beings it has no role to play in the process of digestin.But in herbivores like rabbit appendix plays an important role.Such type of organs which are not useful are called vestigial organs.There are nearly 180 vestigial organs in human beings. For example:-pinna,hair or skin,mammary gland in human,etc.,Thats why human being is said to be a moving museum of vestigial organs.
These may lay as a proof for all those u said above....
