Pubic Hair ?

Ever encounter the situation when , u are at a swimming pool's public toilet , then someone's kid ask his dad," Daddy,daddy , why tat kor kor , uncle and daddy got hair there de ? Why i dun have ?"

Lol typical right ?
If u were the one, how would u answer ?

Ai ya grow up then u will know de . ?

Well but what is the main reason behind that "growth" , we all have but yet so unknown.

The changes during puberty signal the coming of adulthood, when a person becomes reproductive (able to have babies). Nature lets us know when someone is physically ready by showing us these signs. Now, that doesn't mean that we're really ready to have babies emotionally or maturely, but we're able to physically have babies.
Now, why do we have pubic hair?
There are a couple of reasons:Hair (no matter where) helps to protect certain parts of our body, regulate body temperature, and/or catch our natural "scent" (called pheromones) that is produced in our sweat to attract others (of course, this "scent" can also repel others if we don't shower often enough!). General body hair, like on our limbs and chest, is probably just a natural leftover from our prehistoric ancestors who were hairy all over to keep them warm!

There are many theories behind why humans have pubic hair. One thought is that the hair that grows around the genitals and under the arms lock in sexually stimulating scents called pheromones.
For some, scents released from these areas are noticeable and can increase sexual desire.
For others, pheromones might not be obvious but may be subliminally sensed. Some people believe that pubic hair keeps our genitals warm.
Others believe that the purpose of pubic hair is to prevent dirt from entering the vagina.
The exact evolutionary explanation to why we have pubic hair is similar to wondering why we have eyebrows…or why some people only have one…
With or without purpose, pubic hair can be ornamental and eye-catching to its owner or to others. How you style your pubic hair is up to you. There are women and men who prefer one look over others (just as some prefer a mohawk, mullet or total shave for the hairdos on their head) and there are people who don't think twice about how their pubic hair looks.
Pubic hair is unique in amount, color and consistency. Some women let their pubic hair grow into a full coverage of the pubic area while others prefer to keep their hair trimmed. (some seasonally prefer to have a neatly shaven “bikini line”). There are also women who choose to remove some or all of the their pubic hair. Shaving, waxing or removing your pubic hair is by no means permanent. As the hair starts to grow back, however, it can be very itchy and uncomfortable.

So why do we have eye brows ?
Eyebrows are a very significant aspect of our appearance. They are one of the most distinctive features that make up our faces, and we pay a lot of attention to them. We think of some types of eyebrows as attractive and some as unattractive, and many people spend as much time preening their eyebrows as they do applying makeup to their eyelashes or lips. Eyebrows are also one of our most expressive facial features. One of the clearest ways to tell somebody what you're thinking is to simply move your eyebrows up or down -- we all know what different eyebrow positions mean.
So, eyebrows obviously serve a lot of functions in our culture today -- beauty, nonverbal communication, distinctive appearance. But why are they there in the first place? As we evolved and lost most of the thick hair on our bodies, why did we keep that little bit over the eyes?
Scientists aren't entirely sure why we kept this hair, but they have a pretty good guess. We know that eyebrows help keep moisture out of our eyes when we sweat or walk around in the rain. The arch shape diverts the rain or sweat around to the sides of our face, keeping our eyes relatively dry. The most obvious advantage of this is that it lets us see clearly when we're sweating a lot or out in the rain. Without eyebrows, getting around in these conditions is a little more difficult. The shape of your brow itself diverts a certain amount of moisture, but eyebrows make a significant difference in your ability to see. Diverting the sweat away is also good because the salt in sweat irritates the eyes, making them sting a little.
There are a number of ways these qualities might have helped early man survive. Being able to see more clearly in the rain could certainly help you find shelter, and there are several circumstances when keeping the sweat out of your eyes could save your life. If you were trying to outrun a predator, for example, it's a good bet there would be a lot sweat running down your face. If all that sweat flowed right down into your eyes, you wouldn't be able to see that well, and your eyes would be irritated, which would certainly impair your ability to escape! Because of this slight survival advantage, nature would most likely select for humans with eyebrows over humans without eyebrows. Source - http://www.howstuffworks.com/
