Here's the thing: I care more about seeing than people recognizing me.
Introvert solution: No eyebrows
Reason: Still be able to play video games, and people won’t be able to identify you
@@melon4738 tru
Weirdo
here's another thing, can't you just draw them back on? many people who have lost their eyebrow hairs (for many reasons) draw them on so I dont have reason to pick those unless he's talking about eyebrow muscles
It’s a misleading title. He’s just referring to them being more important for remembering faces. Im sure you knew this yet still posted this comment and I ask why?
The title should be "Why Eyebrows are more important than you might think"
he needs the click bait
Thank You
So what you're saying that the eyebrows are important because we can see them?
... with our eyes?
Important comment 😂
YES
Best comment
Hilarious 😂😂😂
i can’t see my eyebrows :c
"Why eyebrows are more important than eyeballs to facial and emotional recognition in sighted people"

Thanks for the complete sentence. 👍
As a youtuber that is a horrible title
“why eyebrows are better than eyes at facial recongition”
There we go
Imagine a blind person tells you they’re sad they can’t see and you start saying at least you have your eyebrows😐
I like having sight
Because of you, nobody else does
-hashashin, old man mountain
Dude thats an offense to blind people dont say that 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠🤬🤬🤬👺👺👺
Same, but there are instances I wish I had no eyes.
I think we all do
imagine a blind person hearing about people considering to pick some hair over sight
Exactly, that question was retarded
It was just poorly worded. It's not about giving up the eyes' entire function, it's about giving up their expressive function. Eyebrows are more important for expression. Sight is obviously more important than expression. It was just worded too simply and should have specified "Which one would you pick for other people to not be able to see on your face?" or similar.
@@ItsAsparageese you're right
@@jeannedarc7533 Thanks for the supportiveness! :)
@@ItsAsparageese no problem buddy, and have a good day😉
Change tittle name to “How Eyebrows Uniquely Shape Your Face”
But that wouldn't be anywhere near as Click-Bait-y
That sounds like a makeup video, not an evolutionary biology or communication science video. Wouldn't be good for algorithm. All it needs to be more accurate is to add "(for Expression)" in the middle.
Change comment to «Change video's title to "How Eyebrows Uniquely Shape Your Face" ».
@@Vagabond-Cosmique yeah what she said ☝️
Hehehee... *tittle* ....
I think that's why dimples evolved as well. They're most evident when people smile, so they're like smile enhancers. They're also most evident in childhood because round, chubby cheeks make dimples more pronounced, so we read adults with dimples as cute and charming, like a child.
never thought of it that way.
I think you need some ******g sentence enhancers. Thanks Nickelodeon.

yes
As someone who's eyes don't work I.... never mind. Let's not go there.
Lmao hi molly!!
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Fancy meeting you here, Molly! 😁 Kinda cringing on your behalf because I'm pretty sure there were parts of this video that required sight - but that's just something I've noticed as of late (nothing personal, AsapScience!) 😅
Oh hey Molly!
Hahahaha
So in other words, maybe don’t get Botox. Your eyebrows won’t move right.
Ehhh mostly with botched jobs.
Maybe
Nah botox can do wonders
Milkers
I watched you when I was little lmao
I'm honestly really shocked at how much unease a lack of eyebrows causes.
It really is unnerving. Even when people shave em off for cosmetic reasons
Maybe because it’s more realistic (is the term for that “uncanny valley”?), one can lose the eyebrows for a disease, or a fire; instead, faces without eyes look just like mannequins.
@@matteopascoli I think that makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. It's almost impossible that someone would look like the "eyeless human", but you could just shave your eyebrow and look like that. Uncanny valley for sure is the right description.
you clearly havent watch mobro
I'm surprised so many people notice or that anyone at all could think people look less recognizable without eyes. I didn't even notice the presenter got rid of his brows even after he said he did. I was confused about what he was talking about.
“Making eye contact is most important when communicating with someone”

As a former drag queen, seeing people without eyebrows is normal for me.

@@rosanorman8475 you’d rather see ur family and get bullied then get bullied for being blind.

@@rosanorman8475 oh I'm in trouble shit
Yeah, I noticed that in paintings where the subject is deep in thought, the eyeballs might actually be completely obscured by shadow! But the face doesn't feel like it's missing anything... because the eyebrows tell us the whole story
Hi Cary! Didn't expect to see you here!
@@journey8692 abe sale
Yeah, in portraits the white of the eye is never purely white, if there are shadows it might even be darker than the skin

Why Eyebrows Are More Important Than Eyeballs
Interesting... People who can't speak need eyebrows to communicate.
But eyes are important, too. They are what help people see their eyebrows in the first place.
I love ASAPscience.
nah just touch thier face
@@owenculletonpersonal1248 😂
i’ve had trichotillomania for the past 4 years and have had varying amounts of hair on my brows. looking back at photos of me really makes me understand what you’re saying - in some pictures i don’t look at all like myself which is really insane. it’s crazy how much the shape and colour of them, as well as the total lack of brows can change your face shape so much
Eyebrow pencil. I look so much nicer and less sick after I started filling in my eyebrows with a soft eyebrow pencil with a wide, rectangle tip
Bruh I ain’t gonna be able to recognise anyone no matter how many facial features they have if I DONT HAVE ANY EYES!
BRUH
Me sitting here not having eyebrows for 25 years: 😐
I used to, but I draw it
Same, I have Trichotillomania
@@brookedemott9473 same! I hate that I have had it for so long :(
If you wanted to you can get this thing called like eyebrow micro blading, which is basically like an eyebrow tattoo. Up to you tho! If you confident and happy with how you are then you go girl! Buts if you’d like to try it out, I believe its like temporary (like 3-6 months before you have to get it redone or darkened) . Heads up if you get it done, apparently it sounds really scratchy
@@charlatte6142 thank you! I definitely want to some day, I just wish it was more affordable >_
AsapScience: you can’t recognize celebrities without their eyebrows
Me, an intelectual: Jeffery Star, Jeffery Star, and Jeffery Star
And Mona Lisa apparently
@@MrJunomein Jeffrey star of the past

This was so eye-opening.
Heh...

Badum tss

The thumbnail should be like "why eyebrows are important? "

me after video: ok he still kinda lied
please tell me I'm not the only one who never realized that mona lisa has no eyebrows
you aren’t the only one who never realised that mona lisa had no eyebrows
That’s her entire personality
She actually has eyebrows, but the dirt and grime of the painting makes it hard to see
You are the only one.
It was the first thing I noticed about her.
Umm but I don’t see with my eyebrows
@@patchiath_ solution to all your problems
ikr. if everyone got no eyes what's the point of eyebrows anyways
I am kinda addicted to light. It's like I can't even see without it.
Lmao
I like being able to see more than I can show my emotions
I was about to shave my eyebrows but now, im just gonna gouge my eyes out
Eyebrow:no
Forehead mustache: yes
I think we might need to weigh in other factors other than facial recognition...
... like being able to see
calm down we all choose sight over looks he is just saying looks wise
“Why eyebrows are more important than eyeballs” … in recognising facial expressions
We obviously need to see lmao
While studying animation they taught us this exact thing, eyebrows are so expressive. We had an exercise where we had to create expressions only with eyes and eyebrows, nothing else, and it's amazing how some little differences, like the angle or the curves of the eyebrows, can make really distinctive expressions.
So you’re saying if I have to choose between eyes and eyebrows.. I should choose eyebrows so that people can recognise me??
AsapSCIENCE: "Take a look at these photos of celebrities without eyebrows."
Blind people: "Ok, I'll try."
I lost my eyebrows when I was going through cancer and I felt terribly ugly and I became depressed. I was fine with loosing my head hair but I found my eyebrows very important.
Try eyebrow microblading it's really good
Yes! I do microblading and have many cancer surviving clients check out my insta @boltbrow
Me too, but I got used to it. I was bothered more by stuff getting in my eyes than by how I looked. But I would much rather walk around with no eyebrows than be blind!
@@mishaslilbae828 I wish you was here giving me this advice when I had cancer. Lmao Nah I’ve been cancer free for multiple months now. I think since June or July
@@MW-ne2sp congratulations I'm happy for you
I easily recognized all the celebrity faces with no eyebrows. 😁
The eyebrow one was actually harder for me lol
@@hamptoonythecat2171 same hahha he got it twisted clearly
I did except for James
Charles. He’s not really a celebrity I grew up with though. I don’t think he’s really famous, if he got his fame from the internet.
i too have no life
I didn't recognize anyone because I have facial blindness... I need to be able to see their hair at least!
On the James Charles one I just went "Izzat Taylor Swift?"
I actually thought it was Ariana Grande lol
Yeah lol, I thought it was Taytay but something's off... Turns out it's not her
I was able to tell all those people without eyeballs... idk 💁♀️ and you could always draw the eyebrows on...

This is why Jared Leto's Joker failed and everyone HATED it!
Cause we all have eyes to see how bad he was?
Yeah... that is why... sure...
me reading the title without any eyebrows because of my trichotillomania 👁👄👁
Eyebrows: *important*
Jeffree Star: I destroyed this man's whole career
Someone should have showed this to jenna marbles 4 years ago
We would grow to recognize people the same as we did without eyebrows... we’re just used to them that’s why it’s harder to recognize without them.
Along with the lips, eyebrows are the most expressive part of our faces. Think about it! You can tell exactly how someone is feeling based on their facial movements👍
Ya that’s in the video
Imagine everyone having no eyeballs and having eyebrows when no one could see it...
*Random fact: A hippo’s jaw opens wide enough to fit a sports car inside*

I think I would keep my eyeballs and make a tattoo for my eyebrows. This way I would look completely normal.🙃✌
I love it when Mitch makes a video without Greg for some reason.
Yes, I'm jealous of their relationship!💖
Why eyebrows are more important than eyeballs. Next week on ASAPScience: Why your finger nails are more important than your limbs!
I only recognised one of those faces, and that was with BOTH eyes and eyebrows. Some of them I hadn't even heard of.
(I recognised Leonardo DiCaprio)
Same. I only even knew him and Kim Kardashian at all.
Who else couldn’t stop staring at his eyebrows?
Ive been shaving my eyebrows for years and lemme tell ya... you are underestimating the look and the sensation.
I remember watching you guys when I was in middle school (over 8 years ago!) so happy to see you guys grow but definitely miss the drawings :)
I wouldn’t be able to recognise anyone without eyeballs.
ASAP: eyebrows are important 😧
Jeffrey Star: 😦

translation: you right
Me after watching this episode: "Maybe I should try shaving my eyebrows"
Not gonna lie it is a really liberating thing, I think you should try it. They grow back pretty quick so don worry
@@Dr.Mrs.Pancakes yes.!
"Eyebrows are important"
Blond people:
What was the exact summary of this study?
Because I'm pretty confident if two of your family members entered the living room, one had just shaved their eyebrows, the other was missing their eyes, there would be absolutely no doubt where your attention would be drawn.
TLDR: the eyebrows are more important because they absorb any interfering object such as baseballs.
Imagine Dwayne Johnson without Eyebrows 😂
You have a harder time recognize people without eyebrows than eyes. Me thinking I can't recognize anyone without my sight
Well I only recognised people with no eyes because I SAW THEM WITH MY EYESSSSS.
i stan talent too
Always thought shaved or thin eyebrows were a misguided beauty trend
0:37 we need eyes to recognise faces bro
Lol
Yes!!!
On average people don’t. I guess that just makes you unique
You should see my dog Dokie his eyebrows go so high when we bring his ball 😂😂it's so funny we even shared it
They should conduct the same study, but instead of eliminating the eye brows and eyes, replacing them with other people's
Eyebrows to eyeballs:
_"It's over eyeballs, I have the High ground"_
Oh I thought from the title that eyebrows are more medically important to us than eyeballs are, I didn’t realize it’s just aesthetics & recognition
You didn’t even give me a chance to guess the faces of the celebrities wtf
Also: I’d still pick eyes
I REMEBER THIS FROM SPONGEBOB , YOUR USERNAME, ITS A NICE STORY❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕
Huh, weird. I only recognized DiCaprio instantly^^
I honestly thought it was Matt Damon
I was sure about james charles, like 80% on dicaprio
I think its because dicapiro has that facial hair which is like a fancy mustache around the mouth and on the lower part of the face
I feel like eyebrows have become even more important for communication with everyone wearing facemasks 😷
the reason Greg isn't here is cause he is still having a hungover from previous vid lol
I like seeing things.
I think I can manage with people not recognising me instantly.
I would have a much harder time recognizing people without my eyeballs
AsapSCIENCE: Eyebrows are more important than Eyeballs
Me who has the thinnest eyebrows: NOOOOOOOOOO!!😭😭😭😭
PS: LOVED THIS VIDEO AND LOVE YAA!💗
And also subscribed to Skill Share!! Thanks!❤️
"We use eyebrows to read emotions, and recognize the people we see. So they are more important then our eyes" 😐
How the hell do you see?
Soo first thoughts on this video for me is "how am I supposed to recognise someone's face if I can't see them.."
"Eyebrows make it easier to recognize people"
Mona Lisa : Hold my beer
I got 0 faces right without eyeballs, and 1 face right with eyeballs. Nope I don’t believe this
3:20 ahh this is definitely becoming a meme
Anime artists - "Oh."
almost every animated character has to have eyebrows to convey emotion. Even Spirit which tried to get horse behavior and anatomy much closer to real world chose to give their horsecharacters eyebrows because of this. It's actually really interesting from the perspective of someone who wants to get into animation
But what would be the point of eyebrows if we can’t see them move?
Me who has trouble identifying faces already: yeah I prefer to stay forgotten
That's why Shane Dawson has big eyebrows, cause he's an empath! 3:06
Traumatized people with poor sense of appropriateness and weak/confused boundaries do tend to be very emotionally sensitive and sometimes oddly emotionally intelligent, yeah
Just realized that a questionmark "?" looks like an eyebrow being raised.
I never thought I’d be so interested in a video about eyebrows
I've always heard that the eyes are the windows to one's soul. Perhaps that is wrong and eye brows are the real windows.
Already an invalid argument when you throw in the James Charles curveball. Even when you put in his brows I still think it’s a woman.
Me: has dark blond hair but naturally really fine and translucent body hair including my eyebrows
*sees the video title*
Me: 👁💧👄💧👁
At least I don’t have to shave my legs
Nahh I think eyes is more important because you can replace the eye brows with fake ones and without eyes you can't see XD
You guys always do amazing on your videos
I don't always search for scientific eyebrow related content, but when I do... I browse
I love when this comes up in my recommended, I have full body alopecia
