Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair?

It’s basically your body aging and breaking down, which leads to hormone imbalances and the like. Tons of stuff our bodies do doesn’t have an evolutionary advantage, it’s just that it’s not really a big disadvantage for the survival of your genes.

ok but like if you’re growing up under increasingly fascist America it seriously is an accomplishment. Especially if you’re queer or ESPECIALLY trans. Trans people have a 50% rate of attempted suicide by 18 and that’s not even counting in deaths from other sources

Well, in that case, it’s clearly because ear hair really got the early human women going. Rawr!
