One improvement that can be made is that there should be a bigger emphasis on the reasons why vestigial appendages are there in the first place. Also they should touch upon why vestigial appendages are important in the development of the theory of evolution. A third improvement that can be made is the writer can speak on the implication this evolution has had on the population.

An ancient ancestor of the whale, Basilosaurus was thought to be a reptile until vestigial parts were recognized.
