Talk:Vestigiality/to do


 * Find a more logical definition. The present definition is, at best, illogical since almost any structure in organ-system level organisms show different functions as evolution progresses. Photoreceptors developing into advanced eyes is a well researched example, as are nematocysts and bacterial flagella.
 * Find a source or sources for the definition given, if there is a consistent definition for this phenomenon
 * Focus more on vestigiality as a whole rather than structures only - behavioral and physiological characters that are vestigial need to be given proper attention.
 * Go into more detail in examples given (fewer, more detailed examples are better than a large list of brief example)
 * Add more non-human vestigial structures to its section. Non-animal examples (plants and (microbes?)) are needed.
 * Discuss the concept of vestigial organs from a creationist point of view. (Origin of Species has a good refutation of the creationist explanation).
 * Use of the term for structures that were previously used by the organism but which have lost their use at later stages (e.g. mandibles in most lepidopterans). Also parts in one sex that are not used but used in the other sex. These are quite a different phenomenon.
 * Include a creationist point of view to the narrative. Only teaching the evolutionary religion is a one sided science. Both common theories should be addressed.
