I have to say that I had never thought of the hair or hairlessness of humans etc. Hmmm I wonder why?
Anyway, interesting.
If we did evolve from apes.... why no hair-or why did we keep hair in some areas and not others? Are we done evolving----Hair wise? Are we all, as a race going to be totally hairless due to body sell-modification(s)?
What goes next, when the hair is gone? Layers of skin?
We actually have more hair than a gorilla. It's just very fine hair.
Pubic hair does catch bacteria before it gets the chance to get any further plus if you have a look at the AAT it makes sense that pubic hair would be good for catching little floating nasty micro organisms you get in the ocean that might otherwise try to get in while in the water. So how would infants and children avoid nastys in the ocean if the AAT is correct. Forskin for the boys and the hymen for the girls.
Also it is believed that pubic hair is used to accumulate and concentrate pheromones and I think most of us know what pheromone are all about so I won't go into that.
