I do indeed concur
why don't people have fur?
- Thread starter fdd2blk
- Start date
so why don't humans have this? i fully understand why lower species do.
We do to some extent, get too cold and we try to maintain warmth and blood flow in the body i.e. cutting of supply to hands and legs in return for keeping the important parts functioning.
I think its just general mobility functions, we dont need to carry round vast amounts of blubber or we wouldnt be able to run fast etc etc If we had thicker external layers of hide or blubber we would be able to keep the heat in more but would suffer athletically, i say suffer but technically we would have followed a different path of evolution.
There is a theory that the bigger the brain gets the smaller and less importance evolution plays on physical attributes, we choose to have a large brain but a lot of our energy goes into keeping it ticking over, lesser species do not have such a large power drain and therefore can afford extra energy to heating or cooling etc or larger muscles.
Had we been cold blooded we would probably fare better climate wise but suffer with everything else, too many choices and twists and turns along the evolutionary path to fully explain everything but needless to say eskimos certainly are built better for handling the cold as blacks for the heat, combined as a race we tolerate such different environments but a black eskimo would never stay as warm.

We are Aliensas the most advanced species on this planet, why do we need to rely on an outside source to help regulate our body temperatures?
just wondering.

Just so you know, mine wasnt a theory I came up with out -o- me butt, its the leading anthropoligical view on the loss of our fur. The theory has been heavily scrutinized, examined, and has much contributing evidence. I would say that simply saying "that doesnt make sense" isnt exactly correct. More accurate we be "i just dont understand" because when you understand the detail in it...it does make.sense.thank you.
aliens with style.
The following is not the real chain of deduction used in science, just my own chain of logic
Firstly, it is a bit obvious that all the fur would be for heat, thus the loss of it could be logically assumed to be tto reduce body heat. We also know based on burried and excavated bodies that our hair was leaving around the time.we were.standing on two legs. Also, as.our.brains became larger we required much more fat and calcium to power our brains. Such large.amount of fat and calcium wasnt to be found in plants but more so in animals. Without giant teeth to pierce or claws to cut, it often involved running down animals.with a rocm and bludgeoning them, that is untill the point we started maiking clovis spear heads. Being bipedal sprinting down an animal wasnt easily and usually an option, it involved long distance running, miles, untill the animal was.exhausted. Having too much body hair in subsaharan africa greatly increased.the.amount of energu needed simply to cool.down, thus the loss.of body hair had to happen for our evolutionary path.

is no one else covered in fur underneath their clothes? oh shit....as the most advanced species on this planet, why do we need to rely on an outside source to help regulate our body temperatures?

same reason cats snuggle up in blankets even though they have fur. to be MORE warm. it's beneficial for us to be able to cool off by sweating, which we couldn't do if we had fur. animals that regulate body temperature by panting and whatnot will never have the stamina that a human can obtain by sweating. humans don't overheat as easily as animals with fur, which used to matter before we raped the earth. that stamina combined with our superior intellect and ability to adapt to any temperature is what allowed us to hunt better and spread out all over the globe. you don't see tigers and bears hoofing it all the way to other continents and just setting up camp and surviving. fur is a ball and chain. to hell with that stuff.if we had fur, why clothing?
this thread is fun
fur is used to cool a body just as much as it's used to heat it.
if RUNNING caused our hair loss then all the animals that run would be bald. how come the animals that we were chasing are covered in fur? they run.
you can repeat it 100 times, still doesn't make it true.

...we could then catch all the other naked ones and ran'em down to extinction?
...Then we had to up our game. SPEARS. Yeahhhh!!!! G'night Big Woolly. cn

As i read to this point, my thoughts as well naturally wandered to this "realm". Who is to say the evolution of consciousness physically and spiritually did not affect our physical appearance? The more physically conscious our "species" became, the more our "ego" evolved. No matter what you dig, evolution. creation. aliens, or whatever.... it all eventually points to humans developing the ego. I only feel a correlation between this and our hair loss, but logically it seems sensible. I say this without definance, only in theory.more power to the brain.
that makes more sense then any other answer so far.
except the "style" answer, of course.
However another point i feel is relevant, is the our accepted science and history. Mainstream science is always on the verge of making amazing new breakthroughs. Each one of these breakthroughs are essentially funded by MONEY. So in some sense, those with the money have influence in the direction and form of modern accepted physics and science.
Mainstream History is thoroughly questioned by the accredited minds, and in so is on the verge of being more and more discredited every day. Creationists, i implore you to study the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the discovering of the Americas. In Christianities brutal wars on other civilized cultures destroyed COUNTLESS historical documents and practices. Not thousands, not even millions, countless. What the world lost we will never know. Christianity has played such a huge role in accepted history, it was basically written by the pope. Not literal, but the kings, the money, and the powerful, or the ones who come out on top, are the ones who get to write history.
With any accepted historical or scientific fact, room must be left for contemplation. Without the capacity for experiment or change, or contemplation, we will destroy ourselves. NO ONE can be absolute in their knowledge. That is the only fact.
But i totally think that, a really long time ago, somewhere along the way, someone confused being "saved" and being "shaved". And by the time we realized something was fishy with the shaving situation, humans had already stopped growing hair. Hence our hairlessness.

lol no all of us are furless fdd AND the follicles of all animals differ
we just call our fur HAIR their is no diff to head of hair you got and the furry ass back of a binobo
their are still recessive full body follicle genes that show up

i am asking, "why do we need clothing to survive outside?"
you all keep missing the point. yes, burt reynolds is hairy. it's not gonna did a bit of good for him in the woods though.

The parts we use the most tend to lose hair. cnwhy is my ass bald, but my head isn't?
