There were hairy people. They got fewer dates. In time, natural selection eliminated them. Except for Iranians.

Hairy Mary
There was a young damsel named Mary
With a face that was really quite hairy.
Said she, “What’s so weird
About sporting a beard?
It is well known that I am contrary.”

Perhaps it was the ability of humans with a sugary omnivore diet to host a parasite in the hair follicles, such as Demodex Folliculorum for example, which led to body hair loss and natural Selection caused favor .

I suspect the main reason is that Sports Illustrated would have a much tougher time selling their Swimsuit Edition if all women looked like Michelle.

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s

And his hair was perfect.

But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man…”

Right… slowly, gradually over an insanely long period of time for some reason we became hairless because that makes total sense for any mammal to go without a protective layer… 🙄
It’s so blatantly clear how this stuff is such utter garbage when you really think about it. It’s hate for our Creator is all it is.

[Flaming Conservative]

Because we’re not related to animals. We are separate creatures, made in the image of God.

So obviously the hairless human did not “evolve” less hair. The gene is and was already there...it is just turned off.
The researcher should find out if sedentary people who don’t hunt for food by tiring out prey...get the hair gene turned back on. Lots of people are sedentary nowadays.

When the hairless aliens mated with the apes, the result was a creature that is almost hairless. Everybody knows that.

Unlike this flake, Elaine Morgan correctly answered this question in her book The Decent Of Woman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descent_of_Woman

Humans have acquired several drastic changes which separate us from our simian ancestors while others of their progeny changed very little. Of necessity, these changes would need to 1) all be related to a single niche we had to fill, and 2) all be related to the survival of hominid ancestor infants.

This flake’s explanation fills neither requirement.

[Dr. Franklin]

Why humans lost their hair The story begins about 7 million years ago, when humans and chimpanzees took different evolutionary paths. Although scientists can't be sure why humans became less hairy, we have some strong theories that involve sweat.

Until studies are published on the differences between man and sasquatch, we just won't know the answer to this.

Because we have Gillette?
