A beard is the human version of a lion's mane. It signifies masculinity -- it's how you know a human male has reached maturity -- they have their mane.
It's been scientifically proven that a beard: 1) quadruples handsomeness 2) drastically increases your wood-chopping ability 3) will allow you to instictively know where the nearest mountain is 4) and fits your face perfectly.
@@HAIRHOLIC_1 yeah but the point of the original comment is that the hairs on eyebrows know when to stop growing at a certain length before eventually falling out (unlike head hair that can keep growing for a much much longer time).
The hair in our head also has a specific growing period that stops after this perios is over, it's called anagen phase (the growing phase), but we don't realize it because the anagen phase can last between 2 - 7 years
I can't conceive subscribing to a channel due to them asking me to do so. You make greatly interesting and educating content, I think all the subscriptions you get are from that fact alone. Asking for subscribers might put some people off, because it's generally not seen as an integrity move. Trust me, you don't need to beg for subs.
I have a really good theory ive been thinking about... Hair in general can be kind of a 6th sense which we used to perceive other things, like a cat uses his hair to sense stuff.... thats why hair keeps growing and mutache too. In fact there is an study where they tested the capability of a man to prevent risky situations with long hair and without hair, it was proven the one man with the long hair had the best sense
That bonus fact isn't really true, I've met a bunch of people who never shave their beard but at stop point it just stops growing. Just like the hair on your legs or arms., they don't keep growing, they stop at some point. (I knew there is that guy who has the record for the longest beard and it's like 10 feet or whatever, but this is an exception, and I'm talking what normally happens)
This could be taken hypothetically. Hairs don't, technically, stop growing. They fall out, the follicle takes a breather then starts up again later. So if a hair follicle never took a day off then it may grow to a length of around thirty feet.
@@chaseis1badmonkey nahh wolverines right everyone has a genetically predetermined beard length. A very small percentage of people can grow it to their waistline for the rest of us that's impossible and will never happen no matter how long. Generally a beard hits its peak around 2 years and mustache 1 yr.
So if I don't shave my beard in my entire life, it can grow to 30 feet long. But why doesn't my arm hair do the same? Why does some grow, and some stop? Can we learn and use that? Like, if I get a haircut I like, can I stop it from growing and enjoy the shorter hair?
There are some glaring omissions from this answer. I would think it is quite important to point out that bearded women are not a mere curiosity of the Victorian era or a Gnomish fantasy, but are actually not uncommon in certain families. You can lead that fact into another interesting one, that of the Native American "Indian" peoples who would not grow a beard no matter what their gender and throughout their life. However, none retain that gene now due to in-breeding with Europeans.
@@thetalk3155 It certainly seems to be something the resurvation natives struggle with. North Americans, at least; And I should have been clearer about that. I _hope_ that some of those hidden tribes in the Brazilian rain forests, for example, are... But to test them, you'd have to expose them; And I wouldn't recommend that. As we learn the entire human genome, we are also seeing genetic traits we considerd a matter of breeding, spreading in populations faster than human breeding! Suggesting a genetic migration, and communication which is asexual. The most popular theory, at the moment, seems to be viral. Virus pick up the genes of their host, and even jump species, and our immune system (if we survive infection) keeps bits of virus DNA in our own, in order to recognise and defend against it in future. So, even if you did test isolated tribe members in South America and found European, or African DNA, (most Asian DNA you would expect, as they seem to have a shared heritage ... Though, more Mongolian than "Indian" I believe) it could have passed through virus crossing species with wildlife.
I have questions that could make for a good episode! - Where did last/ family names come from? - Are we related to every person who shares the same family name? - Do we all stem from the same "family"
a quick google search told me the following "In May of 1915, the upscale magazine Harper’s Bazaar ran an ad featuring a young model in a sleeveless, slip-like dress posing with both arms over her head." so to this day it's only been about a century that we focused on shaving, at least in females, i heard somewhere male shaving only become vastlypopular around the world war, but don't quote me on that
England only announced its plan to go metric in the 60s but still hasn't gone all-in. Road signs still say Miles not Kilometres. Statutes only regulate on which system to use when engaging in commercial activities. ie it's quite normal in England to be sold a Kilogramme of apples, then have the greengrocer tell you that the nearest place to buy cutlery is half a mile away.
Bonus fact: Manes protect lions from the bites of other attacking predators (most of them attack the neck to kill), a long beard could have a similar effect plus helping against scragging from other human cavemen. Women might not grow them because men were usually the ones fighting for territory or the appreciation of women :D
Q Why do men grow facial hair? A To stop our throats being bitten out. Just, like lions. Q Which predators would do that? A The only predator left, Adult Men. Q Why would one adult male human try to bite out the throat of another adult male human? A Hint. Pubic hair growth (groin, armpit and chin) happen at puberty. . . Just, like lions.
Why aren't leaves black so that they can absorb more light, I know that they are green because if the chlorophyll, but can't they colour them similar to how flowers do?
I think beards are great.My most favourite beard (besides my own of course) is the beard William Lee Golden sports.William Lee Golden (for those people who might not know how he is) is the baritone singer for the gospel and country music group "The Oak Ridge Boys".
I'm talking about the full brunet 5-8mm if I wax it I have to admit to its existence so I'm not going to wax it and prance around work showing it off type. Yeah its just a slight hormonal imbalance same reason why allot of (post)menopausal women grow a stash
Many women can grow beards. Even ignoring atypical testosterone issues, can we NOT forget trans women? (who are, indisputably women and can often very easily grow a beard.)
Who say women no facial hair, in fact some women does have facial hair. As for man, if you don't have to have think facial hair, you need to do is, when you a boy stop shaving it just pull it out. It work for most Asian men. Don't know does it work for Caucasian man.
A beard is the human version of a lion's mane. It signifies masculinity -- it's how you know a human male has reached maturity -- they have their mane.
True, and it also protects against a strike on chin and jaw, just the same purpose as lion's mane, hypothetically speaking
What about Asians xD
@@Punicia 🤣
@@Punicia asians can grow beard It Just takes more than time than Say a european, a lot of them shave It without giving It time to grow fully
We humans can grow literal manes with our head hair and beard.
It's been scientifically proven that a beard:
1) quadruples handsomeness
2) drastically increases your wood-chopping ability

Sheeeeeeesh
I look terrible in beard
@@adi4032 because you don't give it enough time
Mines dont
@@jayeshkumeriya5984 How do you know they don’t?
My dad is my fav bearded person lol
So how does some hair (eyebrows etc.) know when to stop growing, while other hair (on our heads, chins etc.) keeps getting longer and longer?
My eyebrows don’t stop growing hair
Actually eyebrows and eyelashes do grow, they fall and grow new ones every two months.

I'm my own favorite bearded person, because nobody else that I really know personally has a beard.
I think beards helped men to keep warmer in cool regions, like Vikings with their long braided beards.

30 feet ? That's like .. an hour and a half in normal metric system ..
There are women with facial hair. They just generally go to great lengths to get rid of it because of the shame society puts on them.

Not really that interesting, simply due to the uninterested questions asked.
simple answer. because it covers our beauty.
