Modern pythons still have the remains of these legs in the form of vestigial leg spurs.

Here is a picture of a Ball python's leg spurs (used with permission: MBaumeister's ball python Peton)

Just wait until they find out that snakes have two male reproductive appendages. They will explain that humans evolved to need only one penile appendage.

I thought those spurs had something to do with procreation (or the attempt). I had a Ball python for about 5 years, and that's what the vet told me.
