Humans growing less hair is a longstanding trend towards neoteny. Neoteny is basically about retaining childhood features in adulthood. Childhood features include agreeableness traits where you're more willing to work with other people and cooperate. Fun fact: Humans are pretty unique among earth species in that human males are more willing to cooperate with other males than any other species we know of. Monogamous relationships are arguably the cause for this. It's what's allowed us to build civilizations. First, there's a family unit, then a clan bloodline with extended family of people who are all closely related to you, then there are tribes, then cities, than countries, then large scale civilizations with people who can more or less work with each other. There's a good video on Neoteny by someone named Karen Straughan on youtube. She talks about this concept in detail for about 20 minutes. It's largely about differences between men and women, but it also involves male cooperation and it's implications for society building, if memory serves. Edit - Addition: Human beings are relatively weak, true, but we're not really built like marshmallows. We're like the terminator killer robots of the animal kingdom. We did something called pursuit predation, which was basically tracking and following an animal until it died from exhaustion. If we bother to train, then we can outlast nearly any animal out there over long, long distances. We can also eat a huge variety of things, and can recover from injuries that would be fatal to most other animals. Remember that we invented surgery long before we invented any kind of anesthetics. In some extreme cases, people have even done surgery _on themselves, in the wild_, and lived to tell about it. Our scar tissue forms super fast. It's not pretty, but it works.

Get yourself a few books on Biological Anthropology and Paleo-Anthropology from a university book store. These questions can be theorized much easier if you have an understanding of human biological reactions to environmental and cultural stresses and behaviors. It can be very complicated, but not as much as you think, once you educate yourself to basic biologies and auto-remodeling techniques of the body at the cellular level. For example; the answer to why a sub-Saharan African male is usually tall and skinny, or why an Inuit male is usually short and stout. is the same; Environment. meaning temperature, moisture, altitude, barometric pressure, food sources and variety, and geologic and zoologic stresses. Sort of like, Who has the biggest muscles? It's probably the guy that carries the biggest logs to camp every day. Stay away from the internet when searching for scientific facts though; unless you are enrolled in an accredited university data base on-line. Here in the States, I use various data bases, one of the more accessible without being a student or a PhD being JSTOR. Happy hunting; you'd be amazed at the things you'll find out.

I belive that we dont have our hair anymore as it was a hindrance to our bodies cooling system which is needed to cool our huge brains that we developed. Our sweat cooling system is amazing and there are very few animals that do the same, the only animals that do have the same eccrine sweat glands all over their bodies as us are primates and look how smart they are. Its not a defensive problem that we have its an advantage to be this smart. The hair thats left is on our heads as sun protection i would imagine. I Think that friction fire is just as likely as they would have used drills to create holes but no one will ever really know

Homo sapiens didn't need that hair to live in Africa. But Neanderthal did need it because Europe was colder. When the two species mixed together we were the result. Straight hair, be a little bit thicker(fat) and blonde, brown and red hair are things that we have nowadays because the Neanderthal man. Recent studies discovered this and also that the Neanderthal was as cleaver as the Homo sapiens was. The pure Neanderthal disappeared because of a volcano eruption in southern Italy Hope this helps

Lets face it evolution makes no sense and was deployed by freemasons. Knowledge has been given and passed down to us by either good or bad spirits(God or demonic entities. Just look at the word inspiration. .. the Mayans made sacrifices to their gods for knowledge like all other advanced civilisations that chose to worship these demonic beings for self interests and crumbled. Similar to this generation and Bohemian grove and the elites. .. repent and turn to Christ.

My theory is natural selection evolution we started making clothes and covering ourselves and making shelters to get out of the elements so it's no longer need it for us to be covered in hair once we made shelter or started Living in caves out of the elements the rain and snow the win the Heat every generation that was born inside was born with a little less hair until it ended up the only thing I was exposed was our heads and that's just my theory

hi, my thoughts on the hairless ape idea is this, we evolved as an aquatic species of ape. in other words lots of time in the water, our internal fat layer is mostly external, like water based mammals ( think whales, manatees, ETC. ), where land based mammals have their fat layers dispersed throughout their bodies. and a life by the water gives us access to fish, good source for fish oils and better, larger brain development

I think. Our skin exposed because of life style evolution. Human started to ware clothes now body reacts on it. Since our body ware clothes human dont need extra or more hairs in our body. Its what we called evolve or adaptation. Just like the creature deep down below the ocean or deep inside a mountain cave where sunlight cant reach on it. They don't have eyes to see or if they have they are blind. Evolution

Two days to prep for -13? I've literally experienced -30 about two dozen times (I'm in New Brunswick canada) and it's dangerous to even be out in that for five minutes. It'll actually freeze your eyelids to your eyes if the breeze is right on you. Thankfully I've never camped out in anything close to that but the minus tens and teens when you're used to it is nothing really. Cheers mates.
