I completely agree with this idea. Evolution is the only reason why we are hair less compared to our ancestors. Kudos to Charles Darwin. I completely agree with this idea.

You tend to wonder how it must have been for Adam and Eve being as free as they were w/ no clothes...must have been great. Evolution is an incredible thing, that is for sure.

I always wondered why we're so "hairless" compared to other animals. I always figured it was reactionary. Humans created clothes, and other ways to stay warm, and so hair was not as needed for warmth. Maybe being hairless was one of our strengths for tracking prey. Interesting.

I guess I was right to think that the human head lice is different from pubic lice, they look very different too, so it makes sense that they actually ARE genetically different. Great info.
