DID YOU KNOW THAT...
...We humans have just as much hair all over our bodies as chimpanzees or monkeys or any other furry primate?
Yup that's right! Most of it is just very short and light. It's called "vellus hair" or "peach fuzz". Research shows that we humans lost all our body hair through evolution about a million years ago before somebody finally figured out how to make clothes. One theory says that we lost our all body hair in an attempt to avoid parasites like ticks, fleas, and lice, and that we've only kept the hair on our heads because other people think it's pretty.
