as an aside--can you explain why our body hair grows thickest in the warmest parts of our body? (Exception being the head, but that's not body hair).
Why do we acquire pubic hair only at sexual maturity? Why does our hear grow thickest between the legs and under the arms--the two warmest places on the human body?
Obviously our body hair has nothing to do with protection from the elements, and it never did.

RE: Human body hair.
Ugh, it looks like this may be the next "frontier" of creationism as a simple google search on "body hair evolution" is clogged up with all sorts of creationist garbage.
Pubic and underarm hair most certainly has something to do with sweat and odor disbursal. Your groin and underarms are the sweatiest places on your body, and also the stinkiest. Some studies suggest the "stink" from your groin is actually a vestigial evolutionary byproduct as well. There's much, much more to this, and I'm sure you'll seek it out.
Wouldn't these also be the smelliest parts of the human body?
Isn't odor a part of what attracts one animal to another?
The former portion of your sentence is obviously correct, but the latter does not follow from any evidence or argument you have presented.
