Talk:Vestigial response

Comment
Vestigial responses in humans are really fascinating. It's amazing that new discoveries reminiscent of our ancient past can still be made.

This article seriously needs some work if it is going to convincingly remain here. Something it could include could be the goose bump response to fear, but not the response to cold which is still slightly serving its original purpose, at least for hairy people :-) However, I don't have any sources which talk about that. We really need someone with some good books/papers on vestigial responses to give us some info and cites, otherwise I don't see the point of this article existing as anything other than a redirect to Vestigial Structure.

Skittle, thanks for your input. However, I still believe that this article about vestigial responses, which I authored, has room to include the 'arm-jerking while dozing off' and 'goose bomps' reflexes. Moreover, I don't understand why you deleted the external links especially the one dealing with automatic responses which indeed occur before our consciously experiencing them as this has direct bearing on the heart of the article about human ear-perking. I agree with you that it needs serious work and additional input which I'm inviting.84.94.29.217 06:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
