No “till”, plenty of living beings have vestigial elements that were positive at some point of their history, yet no longer are, but are still maintained because there isn’t evolutionary pressure to get rid of them.
The genes were from Neanderthals not to make them unattractive and they’re also not vestigial. One is a very common gene related to blood clotting and can cause a higher risk of heart disease.
In other words, humans were fucking Neanderthals and we know it because of DNA. If they had never gone extinct it is without question the boinking would have continued.
Would you mate with somebody who didn’t have a chin? Chins are sexy.
Why are chins sexy?
Because they make people want to mate with you
Why do they make people want to mate with me?
Because they’re sexy. We’ve been over this.
Because otherwise you might be mating with a Neanderthal.
By DNA analysis that was completely on the table till they went extinct.

“They” was towards neanderthals not vestigial elements. They are extinct.
Homo Sapiens develop a mutation XYZ that makes them not be attracted towards Neanderthals -> Neanderthals go extinct -> XYZ is NOW vestigial.
