Anthropologists of /his/, riddle me this: Are differences in body hair between populations more a product of environmental pressures or more a product of sexual selection. I've heard it said that Amerindians have less body hair to dissipate heat, but if body hair is meant to keep us warm, why do men of the harrier races grow so much more of it?

If it is mainly sexual selection, as I suspect, then what do you think made the women of some peoples choose harryen while the women of other peoples chose smooth men?

Women didn't choose hairy men those cultures just enslaved and used women like chattel

Almost all cultures did. In fact, I can't think of one that didn't.

That's very interesting. I would not have thought of that. I guess that's why I'm the geneticist and you're the anthropologists!

So are you suggesting that many, or Eve most male secondary sexual characteristics such as musculature, broad shoulders, and height might actually be adaptations to dominate women?

That's an interesting theory, but probably adapted due to their benefits in combat versus other males
