I believe they are for nonverbal communication.
They might also be helpful in catching perspiration in order to keep it from getting into the eyes.

The main function of the eyebrows is to prevent moisture, mostly salty sweat and rain, from flowing into the eye, an organ critical to survival. The typical curved shape of the eyebrow (with a slant on the side) and the direction in which eyebrow hairs are pointed, make sure that moisture has a tendency to flow sideways of the eyes, along the side of the head and along the nose.

That's a really good question. Now I'm going to be thinking about that for the rest of the week. I can't think of any logical reason for eyebrows, but I'll check back here to see if someone does.

Keep sweat and germs out of our eyes. Natural use but we still pluck them away!
