... in response to Why do humans have an Appendix?
  1. james weible james weible United States says:

    I always wondered if the appendix was a quarantine organ. It's placed pretty well to hold toxins that the bowels can't expel right now and store for later expulsion. It would also explain how appendix's could burst, it's simply an overload of toxins in the system.
