Through the hundreds of millions of years over which Earth has developed, organisms have<\/strong> continuously evolved to adapt to and survive in their environments. The ‘vestiges’ of evolution, known as ‘vestigial organs or vestigiality’ in biology, offer important evidence in support of the theory of evolution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vestige is like a symbol of the past, and will that symbol have a different representation in the future? In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, are vestigial organs completely losing their functions? Or, will they have different functions in the future? Might vestigial organs present new possibilities for human evolution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Appendix-Human<\/em> explores and imagines one of the human vestigial organs-‘appendix’, and attempts to investigate new possibilities and new relationships with the appendix in human lives. Imagining a parallel world to explore the future possibilities of humans and appendix that may be affected by emerging technologies. Will the new appendix change the way we eat? Will the new appendix create changes in our society?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
