all our hair, while its effin cold and have to resort to clothing, isn't that like deevolution, and while maybe because of the increase in temperatures, we could have trimmed the apeish hair with a sharp rock during summers, and keep a thick coat of hair in the winter, right?
SO since evolution is usually to improve things, hair keeps all animals warm that's why they have it, but we don't, we have to resort to clothing, BUT WHY?
THe only plausible answer to me is that JEsus made us lose our hair to show our imperfection and to show that our human race is often embarrassed to show eachother their privates it seems
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
Salam
We never did, there is lines and many lines where made!
There is examples for you all, well look at the BAT for one!
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
Yeah, your idea makes so much more sense than "We lost our hair (you mean fur) because our ancestors lived in a different environment from the ancestors of apes".
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
We didn't evolve from apes, but the reason humans are hairless is because the first humans have been thoroughly proven to have appeared in AFRICA.
Have you been there? Do you think people who live there need fur?
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
The world is actually getting hotter -- if we were covered in hair, imagine the summertime. We have clothes instead of fur. I don't understand why you're having such a hard time with this. .
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
clothing is 1 of the things thats made us loose our hair .. and also our environment .. Many parts of africa isn't exactly cold ..
neither is New Orleans .. heh .. its mid December and its still in the 80s here
But we do still have much hair .. I'm sure you dont want to see what i look like if i dont shave my underarms .. legs .. and .. umm.. else where (cough)
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
Possibly because we developed a keen intelligence. You're right, we could be the species that should have been bred out but we found a different tool to survive, our brain.

Is there an echo in here??? No one claims that man evolved from apes, the theory is that man and apes evolved from the same ancestor. We aren't the evolution of Neandertal man, he was also an evolution from that common ancestor. So that's three "brothers" from this common ancestor. How big does our family have to get before you get it???
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
We lost our hair because evolution knew that we wouldn't look good wearing nicely tailored suits on top of fur.
Seriously, why would we need fur once we figured out how to clothe ourselves?
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
we didn't evolve from apes, mankind are apes still

You know, the word 'losing' has such an old fashioned ring to it.
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
Fur is not without its downside. In the sort of environments that humans inhabit, you're just as likely to find thick fur a burden in hot weather, or an impediment in wet weather, as you are to benefit from it in the cold.
Clothes - especially borrowing the skin and fur of other animals - is far more flexible: you can take it off when it's hot, or exchange it for a dry set when it's wet.
CD
EDIT: By the way, we have just as many hairs on our bodies as a gorilla. More, in fact, by strict per-square-inch counting. It's just that they're very fine in comparison.
So we didn't 'lose' it - it just became hypotrophied. A very easy mutation to arrange, that started paying off in the next heatwave.
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
Maybe humans at some time during their evolution evolved in or around water, for a relatively short period of time. Just a thought.
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
De-evolution ! now that's where the proof is. if non-believers would study that, they would see how silly evolution really is.
if i were id dinosaur id evolve into a little bird too.

You mean Jesus does not need to wear clothes to hide his imperfection?
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
good lord. Have you ever been to school? The climate and environment dictates the physical and chemical qualities of plants, animals, and humans. If I put a group of Icelandic people in Africa for 1,000 years....the final generation would look a lot different from their predecessors. Things adapt to their environment. This is evident in all the people in the world. That is why we do not look the same and we are more tolerant, or susceptible to different diseases. We live in different parts of the world where the climate and altitude is different which causes plants and animal species to be different...we ingest different local plants that have different chemical and cellular makeups.
Its called Science my friend. It has a lot of answers if you took a moment to stop reading your fairy tales to understand or study it.
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
We were smart, and wore clothes over the hair. So hair became unneeded.
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
We are apes. Hairless ones. One of the reasons we lost hair is until the invention of the TV we are a fairly active lot and did a lot of things like hunting and gathering that involved running after game and walking for miles and being that all this was happening in hottest Africa we needed a way to dissipate the heat our bodies built up and that was sweating. A hairy body is not conducive to cooling by evaporation and less hair became a survival adaptation. Then when some of the gang moved north our intellect had advanced we figured out how to clothe ourselves to keep warm (along with some physical adaptations such as body shape and fat you see in Inuits) so there was no need to grow hair.
As far as our privates - we are still hairy there - and if you even look at our chimp cousins you will see hair doesn't hide that area very well.

Random mutation?

There are a couple of answers about hair. answers that don't need Jesus. But first I should point out something about how hairy we really are.
We actually have a higher count of hairs per inch on our skin than a Chimp does. The difference is that humans have very fine and short hair. (Get out a magnifying glass and look.)
We tend to change our hair covering in response to both hormone levels (think puberty or old men growing hair on their ears and noses) and in response to temperatures we are exposed to.
Clothing not only protects us enough to remove the temperature driven hair growth but it also remove our body hair by wearing it off through friction.
Now let me ask you back, by following your Jesus idea.
I have noticed some people who are astoundingly hairy, more hairy than even a Gorilla is. Would that be a sign from Jesus that they have much better souls and are nearer to being perfect than the rest of us? Hmmm?
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
A couple of things:
Your basic assumption is false because it assumes that evolution has a reasonable guiding force behind it that creates incremental and always positive improvements in the original model -and that is simply not true.
At it's core evolution is completely random . Life forms evolve with all sorts of permutations to the basic form and those that can successfully deal with their world will survive and those that can't won't.
In evolutionary terms this current version of humans does not yet qualify as a successful species.
The Age of the Dinosaurs lasted for 183 million years . Human beings in their various permutations have only existed for 6 million years or about 3.5% as long as the dinosaurs did.
In dinosaur terms we are not yet a successful species
Should some catacylsmic mass extinction event kill us all in an instant , then 100 million years from now some alien geolist would look at the strata that we were buried in and classify us all as" index fossils" An index fossil is a life form that only existed for a very short specific period of time and such is an invaluable tool to use when you're dating something . Basically if you know the fossil you know the time that it existed.
To those of you who think that going bare skinned in hot weather is the correct solution to the problem of how to stay cool ,that solution will only work in a hot and humid environment .In a hot and dry enviromment the correct solution is to cover up by wearing garments that will allow your body to retain water, the retained water next to your skin also allows your body to stay cool
IF we evolved from apes, how come we lost?
You may have evolved and/or devolved from an ape but most true homo sapiens are descendant from much earlier mammals. Lack of fur may have been a useful mutation that helped early humans adapt to more environments and spread across the globe.
It's possible the the story of the garden of Eden is a racial memory of the transition from hirsute beast to glabrous anthropoid. If "Adam, Lilith and Eve" were covered with hair they would not perceive their nakedness and live in wide-eyed innocence but once the hair thinned out and their luscious greasy bits were revealed things changed. They had visual impetus to mate more frequently and soon needed to expand their range for hunter/gathering and divide their population and encourage migration of some people to other lands so as not to tax the local resources. Larger populations must also have brought about agriculture and livestock husbandry and eventually tribal and village dynamics. So the expulsion from Eden and the gaining of Knowledge was a direct result of becoming almost as hairless as serpents.
Gorillas and chimps never lost their hair so to them it's still the garden of Eden.

man making a monkey out of himself...
Natural selection is well.... "natural..." and designed by God.
Dood, you need to work on that plausible answer...
Besides I would rather wear my "mans shirt" anyday over a bunch of hair... I think this too was designed by God...lol
He is the man!
