If man evolved from apes?

Question

Why did “evolution” cause humans to "evolve" smooth hairless skin only so that we as humans would be forced to invent clothes to keep from dying of exposure?

If evolution was trying to improve us, it improved us in the wrong direction.

Are you still buying this bunk?

Answer 1

haha...yeah well ppl nowadays (the "most evolved ppl") also believe in the theory of evolution....so i guess its just screwing us over more and more every century then huh

haha...yeah evolution is trash

Answer 2

You clearly have no correct concept of evolution. Evolution is not an "improvement," process but a fittedness process.

Male pattern baldness is caused by higher than average levels of testosterone. It is quite likely baldness is a side effect of being able to have sex continuously. It improved our social ties, increased the likelihood of children and clothes were obviously available.

We are probably smooth skinned because it was more functional in our environment.

Evolution does not improve a species, species that are better fitted to their environment tend to survive, which means they tend to reproduce and that such a mutation continues while it is good for survival.

I recommend a college biology course for you. I recommend any of the following for you below.

Why did God 'create' smooth hairless skin only so humans would be forced to invent clothes to keep from dying of exposure?

Answer 4

Humans are still classed with the great apes in the superfamily Hominoidae. The fact that we have less body hair than other species in our superfamily has an evolutionary history that has been studied in our genome. We now know when in our history we began becoming less hairy. As to what advantages this might has served is an actual matter of scientific debate. I am in favor of the view that this was caused by sexual selection (much as the pretty plumage of the birds of paradise).

Answer 5

Humans evolved into physically weaker beings however mentally we have evolved far and away beyond any other animal. Survival of the fittest means your species is able to adapt, that's what humans have done, we are pretty good proof of evolution..

Answer 6

It's very simple. As men started to wear cloths, beginning with animal hides, the human with less natural protection from the elements had a greater change of survival. Those with the genetic trait of less hair grew in number and permeated the gene pool.

Answer 7

The fact that you, clearly, have no grasp of evolution is evident in your question. However, here is one scenario for the evolution of men with less hair. Women didn't like getting tangled in the hair, so men began pulling it out, leading to primitive waxing salons. Health regulations were ignored and infections ran rampant. Many died. Those men with less hair began to dominate in the gene pool. Eventually, most men were (nearly) hairless.

Quite simple, really.

Answer 8

Ever died of exposure in the African Savanna? In fact we couldn't have the brains we have unless we managed to get rid of all the excess heat.

And because we have the system we do have it means we CAN survive in all climates.

Get an education.

Answer 9

evolution doesn't try to improve, your criticism only works against a process that implies intelligence, like ID or creationism.

You knew that....stop stirring stuff up.

Edit: If you're not trying to stir stuff up, I stand by my belief that I have never encountered an evolution critic who understood evolution.

Answer 10

Seems to me there are a lot furry animals and monkeys in Africa for it to be warm enough that Humans did not need hair.

Survival of the fittest is ridiculous. These people will buy anything that is in a shiny package.
