I know that every part of the human body is important,and without an organ the human body can't function well,but i found a part of the human not useful at all,it is the nail.i don't get what's the function of the nails,so can anyone tell me its function?

Nails were left over from when we had claws.
If you want a useless part of the human body, it'd be the appendix.

See kiddo, this is what we call "evolution", during the thousands of years from which man moved from beating on his chest to beating someone else in the face during a soccer riot, we lost and gained some bodily functions. I thought that they recently discovered that people who have had their appendix removed had a higher chance of contracting a certain cancer? Also, tail bone.

The appendix has been found to produce a certain vitamin to the stomach when it needs it. It's not needed for survival though.

Nails are still needed anyway, for digging things out, Human's wouldn't have the same ammount of grip without them.

Appendix means something along the lines of extra, so says my science teacher. Like the extra in the back of a textbook, and an extra organ. Nails are dead, so is hair. They're just for looks.

Hair's never helped me stay warm. My nails are too short to use anyway. If I had nails like my friend Sam, however.... I guess it just depends on the person and how they use their body parts.

Are you seriously that stupid? Try to survive in the wild for a while and see how much you need your goddamn hair to be long. It doesn't f*** COUNT IF YOU GET A HAIRCUT AND TRIM YOUR NAILS EVERY FEW WEEKS LIKE A f*****, YOU f*** DUMBASS.
