Like the dogs' third eyelid, it was used to protect the eye from debree while running through brush, particularly while either hunting or being chased. The eyelid was transparent enough to see through, while covering the eye surface completely. Another vestigial stucture like the skin fold, is the human tailbone, which today serves no purpose in human daily life, but gives a strong inclination or suggestion that at one point in the development of the human species, humans had a tail.
What would our bucket seats look like if we had a tail today? Hmmm..

That's really interesting. Never thought of the eyelid thing but the tail was always interesting. Although I might add that the tailbone could be considered our last measure or protection before spinal damage.
There's that other thing like no rooom for wisdom teeth. Or that stupid appendix that exploads from not being used.
Speaking of wisdom teeth, did you get yours taken care off?
