Genes, breeding, isolation, and mutation are the reasons for all characteristics -- there's no "natural selection" just-so story from the Victorian blowhards needed.
Selection pressure is just warmed over Lamarckism.
Thanks Red Badger.

Just got in an argument with the wife. She say’s women’s hair is better than men’s hair? I say the hair is the same.
Tell it to the kid with a house on his head. Meanwhile I wish I had hair of any length on my scalp.
We were in God’s image.
Does he have a barber?
Bull$#!+. If it had anything to do with being in the desert camels would have hair on their head and hump and nowhere else. Head hair evolved so baby humans could have something to hold on to while they were in the water with their mothers. Humans evolved fingers and thumbs so they could hold on to their mother’s hair. At least partly.
To keep barbers in business, duh
“Humans evolved long hair on their head to prevent overheating and excess water loss when walking under the hot sun in Africa”

1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”
It would be difficult to grow one’s hair Head hair wouldnt get long, if it were curly. Curly hair has an oval cross-section. Long hair has a round cross-section.
That said, my Dad—as a boy—had straight hair. Returning from Navy PBY service in WWII, his hair had turned curly.
He never mentioned this phenomenon.
Beard hair is triangular in cross-section. FWIW...
One of my best friends was a Phrog Driver in the Marine Corps. His call sign? "Sweater". I'll give ya 3 guesses as to why they chose that name for him....LOL!
God created a few perfect heads. The rest he covers with hair!
Protection from the sun?
Yeah...thats why modern Africans have such flowing locks...
“Beard hair is triangular in cross-section. FWIW...”
Now that 🤞 is interesting!
“God created a few perfect heads. The rest he covers with hair!”
I have always thought that the first born through natural Canal birthing have misshapen heads. The follow on children... more normal and cesarean heads are perfect, in fact when I see a perfect head I often wonder if it is a cesarean.
“The Cesarean” sounds menacingly sci-fi...

Thanks Red Badger.
USAID grant driven science maybe?
I was just gonna say, summary: they’ve no idea.
Guess I’m not human....
Me neither........ we’ve EVOLVED!........
I grew through mine!!!
My little nephew is obsessed with those Highlands — at least he used to be.
