The real reason is that fur makes it much more difficult to keep our bodies cool. Humans excelled as hunters because they could track their prey for long distances. Animals with fur cannot travel for long distances at a stretch because their bodies overheat.who are you to say if we have a need for it???
more hair is always a benefit in cold weather
even today I have a beard to help stay warm
Humans don't have fur. Sorry. Haven't found a single scientific fact myself tied to the arrector pili increasing the insulation effect of beards on men and women. We evolved skills to be able to use animal fur to wear to keep us warm an allow humans to live in those colder environments. More skills like controlling fire and creating shelters have also helped.
And while you may like a beard in colder weather, as for it being a necessity for existing in colder climates, well if that was true, procreation would kinda suck.
But if you want to make the claim that arrector pili increase the heat retaining of facial hair in women/men in cold environments... please continue. lol
You would have to have significantly denser hair for it to accomplish any insulation.
Agree. Why we lost it is still debatable from what I remember... Some say while forests were cooler and had trees, monkeys that evolved kept theirs while as humans moved to the savannah's, hair was lost to keep cooler during the day.
Another thought is pests. Ticks, lice, bugs carrying malaria and other diseases infest fur.
But yes, if we had body hair/fur our arrector pili would have a purpose, keeping that hair down against the skin in warm temps, not trapping hot air against the body, and puffing out when cold to trap that warmer air to insulate with. But without fur it is a useless feature for humans now that we have evolved.
I fascinating thing I remember from high school biology, if you sit with your knees up, your arms around your legs and you face down on you knees, all of the hair on the outside points down. To shed water.
Cool! I remember a theory on human evolution that one reason we may have lost our hair is for a time humans lived a much more aquatic lifestyle where hair would hinder swimming and such. Haven't had any fossil records supporting it, but was an interesting idea at least.

sorry guys but due to a family emergency I cant continue this or any discussion at this time or most likely for a few weeks if at allwho are you to say if we have a need for it???like monkeys/apes???So where do we come from? Why do we have goosebumps?
Goosebumps are a leftover function from when we had more hair or fur. To bristle up and look bigger. To stand hairs up for warmth. Ect
EXACTLY. And in humans that is a trait we carry that provides no benefit. But with a common ancestor you could explain how two different species carry that same trait even if one no longer had a need for it.

I am just home for a few hrs to shower change cloths and hopefully get a little sleep, which I doubt will happen

Not sure that explains hair loss
Hair is generally sexier to the opposite sex and men with hair probably procreate more.

Me neither. What does it have to do with evolution? Hair is generally sexier to the opposite sex and men with hair probably procreate more. All of these guys look like they haven't had any for some time.

When I first shaved my head in 2000, I was amazed at the number of women who like a shaved head.

Um.. did you shave to get mo chicks or because of MPB? Generally speaking regarding survival of the fittest, I would think it's someone with hair. Of course, there are other factors in these matters.

Yep. Because it probably did.People ask if evolution happened, but they also tend to ask that based on the idea that evolved life originated on Earth.

Less hair in a species with no soap, no deodorant, who live outdoors with fleas, ticks, spiders, and creepy-crawlers would definitely be an evolutionary advantage.

Oh, it's possible,but it probably just formed here.Yep. Because it probably did.People ask if evolution happened, but they also tend to ask that based on the idea that evolved life originated on Earth.
Or any number of other places in the solar system where life had a head start in reaching habitable conditions compared to Earth.
There are rocks on Earth that come from Mars. The process is called Panspermia.
Mars had a chance to be a habitable world before Earth.
There's likely living creatures on/within a number of moons orbiting the gas giants.
Any life we find in this solar system will likely have matching DNA sequences to here.
Here's a known contradiction. No secular scientist has come forward with a widely accepted theory where life began. Here is one theory -- Where did life originate?. What is widely accepted today is the land mass Pangaea. This supercontinent broke up to form smaller continents and eventually the seven continents we have today. The contradiction is the uniformitarianism theory that life in the past was similar to the present according to James Hutton/Charles Lyell. This doesn't hold true for the geology of Pangaea which was started as continental drift theory by Alfred Wegener after uniformitarianism.. This is a pretty big discrepancy for uniformitarianism.
one of those theories make apoeals to magic and supernaturalism.
