Strange Monkey: Where Did the Fur Go and Why Are People of Different Colors
When and why did our ancestors lose their fur? And did they really lose it? Why are we not naked or aquatic, but rather sweating monkeys? How many crazy hypotheses have been proposed to explain our hairlessness, and why is...
the question still open? What can lice and fleas tell us about human evolution? How has skin color changed during evolution: did our ancestors lighten or darken? Or maybe they darkened first, and then lightened? What was the point of all this confusion and what do Neanderthals have to do with it? Why do lemurs have blue eyes, and baldness is seen in macaques? And is it true that a beard does not attract women, but intimidates men? This and much more is covered in the book by Alexander Sokolov, editor of the Anthropogenesis.RU portal, once again proving that science is incredibly interesting and sometimes paradoxical.
