How often does that happen?

A small salivary gland has been discovered tucked away in the upper throat behind the nasal passages. It’s not just salivary tissue. It’s compete with duct that opens into the nasopharynx.

You learn something new every day.

To be clear, this is not evidence of evolution, and the article does not even imply it. These glands are not new, humans have always had them, they have just gone un-noticed until now.

Good question. I studied anatomy. I know the human body has 206 bones on average. And over 600 muscles. But an organ count never came up.
Ya ... I was surprised at the number (and names) of our organs.
