If Evolution Made Us Hairless, Why Did It Keep Our Hair?

You are one of the strangest mammals alive: almost naked, yet still covered in hair. If evolution stripped away our fur, why didn't it get rid of the rest? In this video, you’ll discover why your ancestors may have lost much of their body hair, how sweating transformed the way you cool yourself, and why evolution kept hair on your scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and across the rest of your body. You’ll also explore the theories linking hair loss to heat, endurance running, parasites, and the compromises built into human evolution. By the end, those tiny hairs on your arms may look very different to you.
