Re: for david
Just to throw an idea out there, some time ago I read an interesting paper on the the hypothesis that hairlessness is a side-effect of increased testosterone.... in human females. In other words, increased female sexual agressiveness (which would tie in to the relative lack of sexual dimorphism in humans, perhaps) led to hairlessness, rather than it being a selected trait.
