Description
That small pink fold in the corner of your eye is actually a vestigial structure called the plica semilunaris, a leftover from human evolution. Millions of years ago, our ancestors had a functional third eyelid, known as the nictitating membrane, which could move across the eye to keep it clean and protected—something that still exists in birds, reptiles, and many animals today. However, as humans evolved and relied less on this feature, it gradually lost its function and remained as a small pink bump in the inner corner of the eye. Even though it no longer works like a full eyelid, it still plays a minor role in helping with tear drainage and eye movement.
