hahahahahahahaha, we have eyebrows to keep essential dust out of our eye lashes which then keeps it out of our eyes. So I guess your just relying on your eye lashes now. I also personally think that eyebrows because they really accentuate the evil and sad facial expressions:)

Scientists aren't entirely sure why we kept this hair, but they have a pretty good guess. We know that eyebrows help keep moisture out of our eyes when we sweat or walk around in the rain. The arch shape diverts the rain or sweat around to the sides of our face, keeping our eyes relatively dry. The most obvious advantage of this is that it lets us see clearly when we're sweating a lot or out in the rain. Without eyebrows, getting around in these conditions is a little more difficult. The shape of your brow itself diverts a certain amount of moisture, but eyebrows make a significant difference in your ability to see. Diverting the sweat away is also good because the salt in sweat irritates the eyes, making them sting a little.

Wow, the sweat thing! I learned something new today. Thx, guys! :)
Thx, Kim. Doesn't Science help to prove the existence of Intelligent Design AKA a Higher Being/God?
How can some little thing that poofed out of nowhere by it's own accord, evolve into a perfectly made Human Being. That little thing while it was evolving would've had to have known, "Hey, I'm gonna need eyebrows to keep sweat out of my eyes. I better grow some." :)

They're buffer zones for sweat rolling off of your forehead.

eye brows collect sweat before it runs into your eyes
