Tailbone “serves no purpose”? New York Museum of Natural History misleads the public

On a recent visit to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York, I encountered a sign that struck me as an embarrassment to that institution. It claimed that the human coccyx, or tailbone,
serves no purpose, but reminds us that humans have descended from ancestral animals with tails. [Emphasis added] Serves no purpose? Really? The claim is absurd. Although evolutionists since Darwin have been foisting such nonsense on the public, anyone who bothers to investigate the role of the coccyx can see that this is not true. The coccyx does, in fact, make a valuable contribution to the human body, while its alleged derivation from tailed ancestors is based on evolutionary assumptions, not hard facts.

Quick look at wikipedia shows in this case the Creation site is correct the tailbone still serves a function. Shame on the Museum.
mine serves a purpose...
it reminds me. every day, to not consume copious amounts of tequila, and then try to act like a normal human, because copious amounts of tequila can cause one to fall on his azz.....literally....
I broke mine, three years ago, after above mentioned episode, and it still has not healed completely.
so...mine is a useful reminder to stick to beer.
It’s a very useful Scrabble word, especially when played on a triple word square.
Had a friend years ago that broke his coccyx auto-rotating into the ground as a helicopter pilot. His is crooked now, healed up that way and he ran in marathons.
Playing some hoops in high school and landed on mine... If it’s not needed why the pain?
Aren't dingleberries usually connected to the tailbone?
