Our hair grows continuosly. So, if we let it to grow freely after a few years it´s lenght will reach our feet. Now, imagine our ancestors, who d'ont have developed any kind of sharp tool, maybe 10000 years ago. His hair maybe was at their feet. So, it casue a lot of dificult to fight against other predators. Since we survive until now, it mean that our inteligence increase at the same time our hair was growing up too. Otherwise we d'ont exist actually anymore. Then I´d presume our ancestors was part of some genetic experiments where some gens from another unknowed beam crossed with our own and because this our hair passed to grow out of control and our brain got enough inteligence to create sharp tools to cut it facilitating the act of survive. If not, imagine a humam beam with a very long hair, until the ground,fighting against some gorilla. Certainly he lost the fight, because the gorilla hair has a defined lenght. It does'nt grows out of control like ours. I don't know any other animal with this characteristics. From the evolution view point it is a very bad to survive. My doubt! Make realy sense to think we are product of any kind of genectics experiment in the past?
