Thanks, cyborg. Another hoax was an embryology scandal in about 1966 claiming that the coccyx was a vestigial tail, not an anchor for musculature.

Don't forget to mention the the original "comparative embryology" frauds published by Ernst Haekel, which were expose as such back in the late 19th century.

The coccyx *is* a vestigial tail, as well as an anchor for musculature.

Why do you presume that it has to be one *or* the other?
