CS- your view on evolution?

Just curious to what your view is on evolution. Do you think it could be possible that hairloss is a humans way of adapting to our planet? And possibly the bad sides are due to the stress from social pressure of 'looking good'.

We may be more adapted now to handle warmer weather than hairier males.


anyones opinions on evolution and hairloss....

It is worth noting that the development of maturity-related physical characteristics are found throughout primates. In terms of sexual selection, obvious maturity is a good indicator of genetic fitness because a mature individual has survived for multiple seasons, managing to evade all of the dangers posed by food scarcity, social conflict, parasites and disease, and predators.

Cuebreeze: I don't think the theory of evolution is logical in explaining the origin of our existence and can definitely not be related to hairloss, unless you mean the passing on of recessive inferior genetics through generations. i.e. microevolution.

I can't possibly see how social outcasting and getting sunburned can be a beneficial adaptation, unless people were somehow insane in the past for thinking such a trait was desirable. The general selection of bald males over nonbalding ones is just that, a selection. A selection from the population, not a beneficial malady. Nonbalding ones could also just rip out their hair to mimmick the effect.

Women love, and have always loved hair. Most animals don't even think about appearance the way we as humans do. They mate for other reasons. Being bald cannot possibly be favored over hair, especially for logical creatures such as us.

Also, there are many hairy animals that do quite well in hot, humid environments. The sloth, chimps, and wholly mammaths are among some of the them. Hairloss is an autoimmune disease and they are never cool. They are recessive and dangerous. The gene code should have been altered to never include hair from birth, not by giving someone the false identity of themselves and forcing them to cope with such a change. Its a disease, not an advantage.

Cuebreeze: Considering the fact that hairloss is related to so many internal problems, such as heart disease, hormonal imbalances, food intolerance and thyroid problems to mention a few, maybe mpb in its specific pattern which is very recognizable, is a warning to the opposite sex that they are dealing with an internal unhealthy individual, not suitable to carry on their genes.. just a thought.

cuebreeze - When I was a kid, baldness made absolutely no sense to me. I had no idea that our environment and diet had the impact that I believe it does today. If balding were to be a result of an evolutionary process, it would make little sense.

Whether through natural selection or survival of the fittest, neither seem to apply quite as well in today's times, because most of us are already sick. A lot of women have an under-functioning thyroid, and with a 100 years of perverted diets, borrowing a nutrient deficiency, or being giving a direct dose of metal toxins from the mother to the fetus (they absorb 30% of metal toxins in utero), there's sort of a survival of the un-fittest, because we have deprived the average person of vital healthy and inoculate them with poisons, place dental toxins, and derange the diet to a significant degree.

The air we breath is full of aluminum, mercury, cadmium, etc. Are exposure to Lead (Pb) is quite common.

From all that said, hair for some of us is a symptom of an internally problem. It simply isn't natural or healthy to lose hair.
The question is, how do we properly identify all causes in every individual?

thanks for replys.

I do sway towards what you all are saying BUT..... I think its important to stay open to everything. Considering we havent figured it out yet, its no impossible what im saying, just very un-likely.

Also id just to menchon that physically, we probably are alot worse off but mentally, i think on average baldies are alot more developed as far maturity and nurturing. (we are sort of forced into that role).

Also if we did evolve from the apes than technically all the stresses we have are not natural in our world. In our world alot of sexual selection is based on sucsess with money and all the other bullshit etc. (completely un-natural imo).


I mean say the way people live changed and the people stopped focusing on media and money, and really saw people for who they actually were. I think that females would than realise that bald men are very caring because they have gone through hard times and dont focus on peoples exterior as much as others.

Another reason i think we could be more evolved in the mind is from emotional intelligence. When people go through stressful times they tend to seek answers and learn more. Im allways talking about people on this site to my best mate about how determined and smart they are.


Anyway thats just the flipside of my two cents.

I think it is simply a sign of advanced aging and we must step back and ask, "why?". Figuring that out is the mystery.

I have looked into this quite a bit and fully agree with N-KID and CS. It is not a sign of evolution it is a symptom and indicator to other of being internally unhealthy. That being said, I wish this weren’t the case.

BTW, that was well said CS. It is sad, most of us have been under the burden of heavy metals from before birth.

Is it all negative? If it was, bald men would have bred out long ago.

What about the baldness allows the skin to synthesise more Vit D? What about 2 men in a life and death struggle where the hair is an absolute liability? Grab it and you have him at your mercy. I used this technique in a brutal schoolyard brawl years ago when I grabbed the bully by his long hair and dragged his head down, slamming it onto the bench. The short-haired male won the day that day.
