Did people evolve from apes?

As a result of human evolution, sweat glands have replaced the thermoregulation function of hair.

When scientists explain the functions of the body, they mostly forget an important fact: some things in the human body are purely furnishings. On the one hand, this universal amnesia is based on the needs of human narcissism, on the other hand, it is the lack of research.

If you have a thorough attitude, you will find that many details of your body are in suspense. For example, one hand and ten fingers. Obviously, some fingers should be redundant. The title "ring finger" is a virtual position created because it cannot be arranged. As for the spare kidney and eyebrows as decoration in the human body, it also objectively highlights the bloated situation of people in the body.

Hair once played a certain role in the evolution of human beings, but its function is gradually abdicating from the so-called sexual symbol. Some amphibians used to confuse their opponents with their hair (in order to become part of the environment); Hair, on the other hand, keeps mammals dry and warm, and the significance of hair as a gender is in a secondary position.

Men grow beards, long hair or simply shave their heads. The fundamental motivation of this kind of behavior is not to attract the opposite sex, but more to strengthen their unique value in social relations. The image of a beautiful woman with a beard adds a heroic color to Guan Gong, not a gentleman. Braids in Qing Dynasty pointed to politics as an ideology in social relations. Seeing off the hair of monks and nuns also tries to show that the individual has faded out of the collective and has no direct logical relationship with sex.

In some modern sports events, the original intention of male hair exposure is also changing. For example, boxers don't handle armpit hair as sensitively as women do. Their purpose is to try to create a strong image, so as to win psychologically without fighting, and the desire to please women in the audience becomes insignificant. Beckham's show in hairstyle should be understood as his grasp and pursuit of commercial value. From the perspective of fashion culture, the neutrality of fashion design also masks and stifles the gender characteristics that hair once had.

According to National Geographic magazine, although human hair is not as much as that of most mammals, many people still want less hair. According to the survey report of Gillette Company, American men shave 24 times a month on average, with an area of 3 10 square centimeter each time. For women, it is 2658 square centimeters per month 1 1 time.

The results of this survey also clearly show that the significance of hair as a gender feature has been subverted.

I have no intention to prove that the evolutionary history of human beings is the process of hair disappearing, which will arouse the resentment of long-haired countries that are more civilized than us. I agree with friends who write prehistory that the progress of civilization is the result of socialization after all, and it does not come down to Freud's theory of "sexual repression".

By the way, the cover image of the first issue of this magazine caused a general uproar of public opinion. One of the reasons is that we used a photo of a man with bare armpits. On the contrary, most people who ask "questions" are women, which surprises us. In any case, it is not a bad thing to see sexual depression from the hair. At least we understand that civilization is not only based on time.
