Re: Anyone disagree that body hair has sensory function?
This reminds of a time when a friend of mine who is mexican had a premature baby. When I went to see her at her home and saw the baby for the first time. My first reaction was this was a baby monkey because her baby had so much dark hair over the entire body that it resembled fur.
​
Of course, as the baby grew it lost its appearance of being furry and looks human now. This provided strong evidence to me of our ancestrial background of once being apes.
