What People Remember
People often remember the coccyx being presented as a clear and obvious remnant of a much longer, visible tail that humans once possessed.
◉
What's Actually True
While the coccyx is a vestigial structure from an ancestral tail, it is very small and doesn't imply that modern humans ever had a prominent, visible tail in their recent evolutionary past.
