The last major one listed now is atavisms. I believe the most popular examples of these are tail like growths on humans as well as mass amounts of facial hair. Here are some links that go more into detail on those....

Thanks for the sixth or seventh time and God bless.
Sorry for the delay Derrick. I've been a bit busy lately... Ah yes atavisms.. It's pretty much how you interpret the data. Like hind legs on a whale, which actually could also be mutated fins or used for reproduction (not used for walking on land). As for tails on humans, in many cases there wasn't any real bone structure to it. It's just a defect.. In this case the story "Baby's Tail Lends Evolution Support" by ICR it states:
"First of all, the caudal appendage does not contain even rudimentary vertebral structures.… Secondly, the appendage is not located at the caudal terminus of the vertebral column. It is possible that this structure is merely a dermal appendage coincidentally located in the caudal region. This possibility cannot be excluded"

Facial hair on humans? Again its how you interpret the data..
It's simply a genetic disorder, not that we all had hair over our bodies at one time in the past like a monkey... We have people born with genetic disorders every day. What about the girl with two heads or a man with three legs?
So under this logic maybe in the past we all had two heads and three legs?
Of course when you bring this up with evolutionists they would probably say that's a genetic defect, that is, until they find mass amounts of facial hair on someone, then all of the sudden it's a link to our evolutionary past. Why? Because apparently our ancestors had hair all over their bodies too.. Do you get my point? It's all how you interpret the data. No one really knows.. We don't have a time machine to see what we looked like before. This is just an assumption.. What we are really dealing with here is one's philosophy and how they interpret their world..
We just need to use common sense... It's really that simple..
