—Humans have blind spots in their eyes because the optic nerve passes through the surface of the retina, where there are no photo receptors.

Why are wisdom teeth becoming vestigial?

—Wisdom teeth were once necessary replacements for worn-out teeth, but advancements in dentistry have made them less essential, resulting in their decreased prevalence and potential removal.
