Warum haben wir einen Blinddarm?
Ich meine den Fortsatz, aber irgendwie hat sich "Blinddarm" in den Sprachgebrauch geschlichen.
The shape of the appendix is perfectly suited as a sanctuary for bacteria: Its narrow opening prevents an influx of the intestinal contents, and it’s situated inaccessibly outside the main flow of the fecal stream. Parker suspects that it acts as a reservoir of healthy, protective bacteria that can replenish the intestine after a bacteria-depleting diarrheal illness like cholera. Where such diseases are rampant, Parker says, “if you don’t have something like the appendix to harbor safe bacteria, you have less of a survival advantage.”
Hätte mich auch gewundert, wenn es in der Natur etwas gäbe, dass keinen Sinn hat. Ich hab meinen Bakterien-Safe noch :-)
