Why Do We Have Hair?

If we are evolved from apes, why is it man evolved into having hair only on certain areas? The head of course where the most is (women included certainly), the armpits (what was the point of that?), the tops of toes, legs, arms but usually more on the calves & shin areas or the forearm area. Also eyebrows (is it to help shield the sun from the eyes?

Who has these answers ?

I read a while back that we have eyebrows to keep the moisture out of our eyes when sweating or when in the rain.
I still get them both in my eyes though. Maybe they have to be real thick, lush eyebrows!

Re: Why Do We Have Hair?

When all the creatures were sent to this Planet, the Dispatcher did not know exactly what the conditions said creatures would encounter, so different versions of the same were sent, hence we have Hairy Apes, and less Hairy Apes. It was not as warm as expected, so the hairy idle arse version did nowt but laze about, nicely insulated by their natural fur coat, the less hairy version had to make clothing to keep warm, this involved building Mills and Machinery, and an Industrial Revolution ensued the rest is history.

Autumn - I remember now, I asked me Hubs years back - if we 'are' descended from Apes - how come there are still apes !
