the lessening of hair noticability could be a product of sexual selection rather than natural selection. humans became very aestetic creatures after they took over from neanderthal.

what does less hair have to do with more food?

perhaps it equates less energy put into growing hair and more into growing muscles or brain, but i really don't see the connection.
