Yea in our modern society sure. But not for the last 250,000 years of human evolution.
Comment on What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads?
Aeao@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoPeople catch on fire a lot actually. I’ve caught my hair on fire dozens of times. It didn’t cover my whole head on fire because I noticed and put it out. Having long hair and cooking over a fire …. You’re occasionally going to catch on fire.

But did you notice because of the smell? Or because your head was on fire?

Smell. I noticed it before it reached my skin.
