Male pattern baldness is a result of genetics and hormonal interactions; it probably spread through the human gene pool either because hair loss occurs too late in life to majorly affect reproductive success, or because it gave younger men the appearance of age, wisdom, and experience, thereby making them desirable to some women.

That's the reason orangutans have such long hair. They live in tropical rainforests, so don't need the hair for warmth. It also protects them from the sun. Interesting factoid; their hair doesn't effectively insulate them against cold so orangutans in zoos have to spend most of their time indoors during winters in colder climates, or they can become hypothermic very quickly.

I think eyebrows also help to keep debris out of our eyes, because I once had my eyebrows trimmed and I noticed I was getting more dust in my eyes than I normally do, so I don’t have them trimmed now and I get less dust in my eyes, so perhaps they are to protect our eyes as well as communication

Many animals have a carotid rete network (blood vessels surrounding the brain in order to rush heat away) that allows them to directly cool their brain by panting. Their body temperature can get much hotter than ours without any damage being done. Humans (and all apes) lack a carotid rete network which means their body temperature and brain temperature are linked. In order for us to maintain a safe brain temperature we have to cool both our body and our brain together. Fur offers insulation from external sources but it also traps heat in the body. That is why none of those animals you mention can run for as long as humans, they overheat. The way an animal previously evolved (i.e. whether it evolved a carotid rete network or not) informs how new adaptations will evolve (become "hairless" and increase sweat gland numbers or not). Head hair keeps our head cooler than if we were bald but it requires less sweat to maintain the same cooler temperature. So, in reality it allows us to save water since the head is directly exposed to the sun during midday.

"[...] Several studies have shown that people are able to identify their own armpit odors as well as those people they're close with." What kind of person does the scientist took testimony from?

So we shed off our fur to allow the sweat, from our growing number of sweat glands, to evaporate during the hot day to cool off. That is assuming we already know how to keep warm at night when the sun is down, or during cold seasons when the last thing we need is to keep cool. The "sweat gland" hypothesis doesn't seem plausible to me

The hair on our arms and legs also (in my experience) play a part in protecting us from parasites. The hair on my limbs have alerted me of ticks before they got the chance to bite me.

I loved it, where can I get myself a hot blonde hunk like that

So I was at the salon the other day. I always am trying out different experimentation so this time, I decided to narrow down my thick eyebrows into really sleek lines and curvy from edges. Just like many of you must be thinking that it's a "women's rights" to have sleek/thin eyebrows, the hair dresser also reminded me of that by saying "sir, it will look like a lady's (eyebrows)". Meanwhile, just a few days back... Boom! I discovered a girl in my old acquaintance list that she has thick eyebrows as similar as mine. Or probably due to the lockdown, she must not be getting anything done and her eyebrows grew dense. I'm not judging her at all. IMO she looked just fine. Just indicating that women do have thicker eyebrows but everything is so culturally diversified and have created so cheap stereotypical and sexist distinction, that we can't be ourselves (i.e. women can't have excessive hairs) and we can't try different looks/experiments (like the one I mentioned above). You'll be reminded that you're a guy or a girl, so do what from years have been going on made as a rule by don't know who. There should be an educational video to explain this societal norm and reason for distinction or no distinction.

I wonder about science sometimes. If we lost hair so we could sweat better, why do we still have hair where we sweat the most, the armpits, groin and chest? And what do they mean when they say 'when our ancestors ventured outside, they grew hair on their head? Outside from where? We certainly didn't roam around at night. The tigers owned the night. We were always outside during the day. Anyway, some interesting bits about hair follicles. Lots to think about. I give it a B plus.

Eyebrow seems to have a more important function which is preventing sweat coming from above to drop into the eye.

I've been a barber for 20 years. I've noticed a correlation between heavy body hair/beard and baldness.

Title in the thumb nail:why we don’t have fur Me:because we are not animals

I like how each of their videos have a different art style.

my hair doesn’t care about any science, it just relentlessly grows

Great summary. But I must make a correction on an important aspect. The unpleasant "body odors" are not the result of smelly humans that just so happen to stink in only a couple of areas. And some of us don't "stink" more than others simply because of individual secretions. Pheromones are indeed created uniquely, person to person, and are in ways like a fingerprint, but our sweat gland secretions only stink when external bacteria feed on them, giving off their own effulgence (stank) as a byproduct. So a person who is well-groomed and regularly washed does not give off radiant, identifiable nastiness. This only occurs if colonies of bacteria are allowed to grow to pungent levels. A temporary situation for sure. Again, this is an important distinction. Keep the bacteria to a minimum, and you can sweat all you want without frightening small children and, well, everyone else. Fall behind on your hygiene and anti-bacterial methods, and even a light dusting will send your closest mates running for the hills...

the tailbone bending backward helps to keep us upright. that's why we still have them

I’ve always believed we evolved for endurance because it allowed us to chase down to great lengths a wounded prey until it died. The hair loss aids in cooling by exposing more sweat soaked skin to the air, eyebrows keep sweat out our eyes (as well as for facial expressions), hair remained on our heads to protect our heads, beards actually channel sweat to our core areas and also shade the sun from our chest, bipedal motion uses less energy, breathing control is needed for both running and swimming and this also eventually helped in our development of pure speech 😎

So basically, we know as thin about hair as hair
