What's the evolutionary explanation to baldness?
I know you can be more objective than google.

>> No.2965991

Once you're past your prime breeding age, there's no evolutionary pressure around to keep you working properly. So you just kind of fall into disrepair as all sorts of long running processes and traits in your body take over that were otherwise weeded out as being unfit.

Is it not just entropy?

>> No.2966120

It's genetic.

On my mother's side, the men are bald, on my father's side they still have hair and no balding over the age of 60.

therefore, it has nothing to do with evolution

it is everything to do with evolution if it's passed on genetically. the only reason its not been weeded out by now is because its not detrimental to survival of all other genes.

FFS, not every little thing that happens to an organism during it's lifespan has to do with some evolutionary advantage!

So, what? This whole question has to do with the fact that you're losing your hair and you're worried that you wont get any pussy anymore because of it? Are you even hearing yourself say this shit? Don't you think it's pretty fucking pathetic to even be THINKING this kind of worthless shit, let alone posting it ANYwhere on the internet? Don't you have ANYthing more important in your life, anything else that gives it meaning other than whether or not your dick is getting wet? Is this REALLY how you feel? Don't you think there's something seriously wrong with that? FFS, check yourself, dude.

okay first of all, i'm not OP. i didn't ask this question in the first place

second, i was joking when i said about girls sleeping with bald men. not lying, but joking.

also, this is true: >>2966155

I'm not worried about going bald. I don't know when but I will. Possibly when 30 or when I'm 60

Baldness is a side effect of testosterone, which has obvious evolutionary benifits

Troll harder! You weren't even trying.

>What's the evolutionary explanation to baldness

It doesn't stop you from procreating, so it's a trait that gets passed on.

Yes, that's all there is to it.

Even degenerative congenital diseases like Huntington's cholera share the same explanation.

this

same goes for hairy backs, acne, bad teeth, etc
