I'm going to assume that it is to draw attention to one's eyes. Like birds have colored spots on their wings, the eyebrows can attract attention from one's potential mate. They also keep warm some of the important muscles of expression in the face.

To keep the sun out of your eyes. It might not seem like they would do that very well but try shaving them off and you'll notice a big difference.

To trap perspiration so that they do not roll into your eyes and sting them. Probably Leonardo Da Vinci wanted to find out too so he painted Mona Lisa without eye brows, LOL.

believe it or not, eyebrows do have a purpose. they keep sweat from going to your eyes when you are exercising. they are helpful in showing emotion, like when you are angry, excited, or mad.
