“isn’t male pattern baldness a european trait?”
Maybe. It’s caused by DHT, a testosterone-by-product.
High test = bald.
Bet most badasses of the ancient world were bald.
High testosterone AND an inherent genetic make-up that causes a certain distribution of hairs on the crown to react to the DHT compound, by causing hair production to fall to a stop (the hair root becomes dormant, but doesn’t fall off), causes male pattern baldness.
Some scientists say that it is an evolutionary feature that was promoted when some women had an increased sexual preference for balded males, because they appear less aggressive and more mature, thus being indicative of stable partnerships.
I do not believe MPB is racially specific. Asians and Indo-Europeans have the trait.
