Because we evolved not to depend on it for heat as much since we wear clothes

I'm pretty sure we lost hair before we made clothes.

 

Edit: On that note, why invent clothes if you have a nice furry coat to keep you warm?

and if hair is supposed to keep us warm why did we lose it over most of our body.

Because we lived in Africa, where it's hot.

 

A few of the potential anorexia effects include:

 

* Loss of approximately 30% or more of body weight leading to emaciation.

* Irregular or complete loss of menstrual period.

* Dry skin.

* Hair loss. On the head. I'm talking about the rest of the body.

* Growth of fine body hair.

* Heart damage / heart attack

* Bone loss / osteoperosis

* Withdrawal and isolation.

* Death.

 

Look at the hair on your arms and tell me how much air you think is going to be trapped under there. Now imagine a breeze. I think you get my point. The only area where it really might have an impact is your head.

I never said it had a major impact. Just that that's what your body does naturally when it adapts to the cold.

 

We know fat works for keeping you warm because animals who live in cold climates use it all the time.

Your body uses hair if it can't keep the fat. And you know, leg fat isn't exactly convenient ever. Just sayin'.

What happened to discussions here where everyone agreed?

 

lolololol

That would just be agreement.

Why didn't chimps lose it. Or gorillas, or any other primates.

Or it could be hormones.

Indeed, how boring.

 

I hear weird night noises

Pretty sure my partner in chem caught me staring at her cleavage today. She's a senior, I'm a sophomore. But we both get along really well and joke all the time. But [cabbage] was so awkward. Just quickly adjusted my glare and darted my eyes around the room like I was never looking at anything. She didn't say anything. Awwwwwwwwwwkward.

So I finished reading another webcomic series. And I still have this strange desire to draw up my own webcomic...

Lulz.

 

Anywho I do have to head to bed. Pip pip cheerio.

<3 high school grade level hierarchy, the amazing excuse to punch tall freshmen

Because they didn't evolve into being hairless. Just because an evolution would be beneficial doesn't necessarily mean the species is going to get it. It would be beneficial for rabbits to be poisonous (well, for the rabbits anyway. Not so much for their predators), but they aren't.

* Hair loss. On the head. I'm talking about the rest of the body.<says this where I kind of assumed. Otherwise the next point is exactly opposite. So yeah.

* Growth of fine body hair.

* Heart damage / heart attack

* Bone loss / osteoperosis

* Withdrawal and isolation.

Yeah, that too prolly.

A poisonous rabbit would be counter-productive to it's already evolved defense mechanism, agility and speed. I don't see how losing hair would adversely effect apes as they are.

 

Also as I understand it no one is 100% sure why we lost our hair. I've heard one theory that we were sort of "aquatic apes". Thus we use fat because it's better for keeping warm in water, and stood up so we can go into deeper water to get food/carry our babies.

 

Bed for real now.

I'ma try to post a new RL pic tomorrow. for suuure

But a poisonous rabbit would still be better defended against predators than a normal rabbit.

 

It wouldn't hurt them, but nature doesn't work like that. It's not like, "Oh, no hair would be better for apes, better remove their hair." It's kindof just random with bad random-ness being weeded out.

 

katy perry > everyone

That face...

Lol I've seen that pic so much and I just realized the guy in the background. Not sure which face you were referencing though.

...is ugly as [bleep].

 

 

The girl.

aren't you the guy that likes cartoons of little japanese girls. D:

It's mostly because it's Katy Perry.

Katy Perry is [bleep]ing hot.

aren't you the guy that likes cartoons of little japanese girls. D:

He's Tyler. We... generally stay away from the "What does Tyler like?" topic. BEcause then it gets scary, and Wits may even bring in a manga edit. And then everyone's like "olawd no" and the thread goes into a state of coma or hyperactivity, depending on how much sugar Halo consumes.

 

DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS THREAD'S FATE TO BECOME DEPENDENT UPON HALO'S SUGAR INTAKE?!? DO YOU?!?

Yes.

 

Do it.
