Two of the biggest weaknesses of evolutionary theory are:
There is no adequate explanation for the origin of life from dead chemicals. Even the simplest life form is tremendously complex.
The fossil record, our only documentation of whether evolution actually occurred in the past, lacks any transitional forms, and all types appear fully-formed when first present. The evidence that "pre-men" (ape-men) existed is dubious at best. So called pre-man fossils turn out to be those of apes, extinct apes, fully man, or historical frauds.
Are we discussing the oddities of human hair, or the pros and cons of evolution?

There are plenty threads dedicated to that, I suggest this conversation be taken to one of them and this thread return to topic.

But besides that, your take on the fossil record lacking transitional forms is simply wrong. Evolution has no end in sight, with no specific species being the final product of any particular evolutionary thread. That being said, it is very well true that every single species found in the fossil record, and every single species alive today, are transitional forms to some different shape or form. Even you.

But there are different threads to discuss the pros and cons of evolution. There are also threads catering for creationism, if that's your cup 'o tea.

This thread really isn't about evolution and its perceived flaws. It's about the evolutionary purpose or role for human hair, if there is one.

I propose the thread is having a bad hair day.

True and agreed.

I made a mistake, I didnt really intend to post that. I copy and pasted the wrong thing.
