Vestigial != useless

2. Alleged vegital organs serve a purpose.
But we allready know that many vestigial organs serve a purpose? Vestigial does not imply that the organ is useless, but is simply a classification pertaining to the history of the said organ.
Bones in our ears are vestigial jaw bones. They have developed from the jaw of reptiles, where they had a different function - THIS functionality is now lost - but the bones now have a DIFFERENT function - helping us hear.
