Re: Is fitness only fitness when you say it its?
Sometimes its important to point out how inconsistent your sides ideas are; and just asking simple questions is often enough to do just that.
Long facial hair is not a factor in evolution. Given the advent of culture, such as fire and stone tools, its not a problem at all.
That you think it is is just another example of you grasping at straws.
But let me turn this around. How do apes and monkeys deal with long facial hair so that it is not a problem?

They don't because they don't have this coyote. I guess you were too busy looking at piles of old bones to look up and notice.
I'm aware of that.
My question was what is known as a Rhetorical Question.
(By the way, I took a seminar dealing with living primates--apes and monkeys--in grad school, so I have some familiarity with the subject.)
