Well… More to my point… That means it’s a liability, right ?because that’s all fine and dandy when consensual but over the course of history more people have died as a consequence of getting caught by the hair than the offspring such long hair ever facilitated. I mean most military forces cut their hair for a reason. But I’m neither a scientist or a soldier so, I could be wrong too.
Comment on What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads?

I’m not sure it’s the primary reason it evolved in humans and I’m not a scientist, but I do know that you can use it kind of like handlebars/reins when you’re hitting it from behind. Only with their full, notarized consent, obviously.

Wouldn’t deaths from battlegrounds be too small (before world wars) to impact a group’s genetics?

Depends on how common fights are. I heard that in very dangerous populations/times left-handedness is a lot more common, since attacking with the other arm than most people is a distinct advantage.

Just more evidence of the Grand Design!
