If evolution is real...?

Question

why do i still grow hair on my nuts?

I don't need it, why's it there?

Answer 1

To protect your scrotum from the elements. That's a sensitive spot there ya know.

Answer 2

Here we go with the correct but still unpopular answer.

In order for evolution to proceed you need genetic variation that is acted upon by natural selection. Natural selection dictates that less fit individuals will reproduce less (or not at all) than more fit individuals. Without natural selection THERE IS NO EVOLUTION.

So, if you look at human beings, we've had the technology for centuries to assure that all humans (or at least a random sampling) reach adult reproductive age, regardless of fitness (those 6 billion people out there must be proof of that). Hence there is no natural selection in human populations, hence there is no evolution in human populations.

As such, humans will always have an appendix and ball hair because no genetic traits are selected out of the population. Sorry.

Answer 3

Because evolution doesn't *suddenly* delete a feature the moment it becomes unnecessary. It takes hundreds of thousands to millions of years. You are certainly less hairy down there than your ancestors 100,000 years ago.

But that is precisely evidence *in favor of* evolution. It is a throwback to an ancestor for whom this feature was useful. (There are many other examples of this in your body ... your appendix, wisdom teeth, tailbone, plantaris muscle in your calf, your big toe, the muscles that let you wiggle your ears, the micromuscles that give you goosebumps, etc., all useless features in you, but useful in ancestors.)

It is certainly an argument *against* "intelligent design". That hypothesis does not explain why a designer would include useless features.

Thanks for the great example in favor of evolution!

Answer 4

Because you're evolving into a hairy ball.

Scientists call this new and evolving species, the Hariusballus.

They're destined to take over the world.

Answer 5

Why did you ask such a stupid question? I hope you nuts lose all thier hair and the temp drops to -50 below - then you'll know.

Answer 6

most of us are evolving, however, you sound like you're DEvolving. if after you're full grown you're "still" growing new hair, you're becoming some type of pygmy sasquatch or something.

sorry, but thats just the way it works. some of us will be like the folks on star trek, and others will be pygmy sasquatch. nobody said life was fair.

Answer 7

Hi. Because your ancestors needed to regulate the temperature of those precious items. That's why they are on the outside.

Answer 8

evolution doesn't just SUDDENLY remove or add something that you don't or do need.

it's a process that takes millions of years. just because you don't need it RIGHT NOW doesn't mean it's just going to disppear..

Maybe in a couple thousand years, it won't be there anymore.

Also, maybe before you say idiotic stuff like that you should learn a little more about what you're trying to disprove.

Answer 9

You do not need a tail bone or an appendix, yet they are still there. Look to secrertsauces answer.

Answer 10

It's a secondary sexual characteristic that advertises reproductive capacity.

Put simply it screams to a fertile woman "f-ck me I'm a fertile adult."
To a rival male it says "drive me off or kill me before I knock up your ho's."

Answer 11

to regulate heat and cold like your head is protected....throw a bucket of ice water on your balls and watch them suck up in your belly....if you have a nice broom, you would be somewhat protected.....besides, i was going to watch the Florida and Ohio state game with my buddies at the big screen bar.....my girlfriend said, oh honey, don't go, stay home and shave me....so there's that too!!!
