Not only do such discoveries trace our evolutionary history, it is also extremely interesting in the sense that it reveals the relationship between different parts of the body and how it adapted to the optimal structure capable of surviving in a certain environment. Nature is certainly a master engineer as can be seen from how some creatures are amazingly suited for survival despite living in extreme environments like the desert animals.
