Ein funktionsloser Überrest einer ursprünglich arterhaltend wirksamem Gewohnheit.
How would you translate arterhaltend? Also, is there perhaps a comprehensive term for: funktionsloser Überrest? I seem to remember a scientific term for that in the back of my head, but I cannot come up with it now.
Thank you!
