You disagree with everything I stand for and are just beside yourself that you can't rationally make a stand and demonstrate Where and Why I'm wrong. But thanks for playing.

What? I've watched how you jump on what I say. You stepped in it. I pointed it out. You dealt with it childishly. Rather than admit that you stepped in it, you tried to play it off. Of COURSE I'm being too serious, I'm making a point. The way you've behaved historically and this most recent event are just so telling.

It's the Tall Table, not Quilters Corner. Build a bear trap thinking it's for someone else only to discover that it fits your leg really well, well, that's the Tall Table..

Just don't expect to go far before someone sends it another direction. I hijack my own threads. Id still like an explanation for how it was a good move for a critter to ditch its fur. Seems Counter In Tuitive to me.. not sure exactly what that means, but I heard it's PC for Don't exactly make sense.

Okay,.. there are few scientific theories out there, but let me give you mine....
In evolution, there is one wild card...
Creatures mostly evolve in practical ways reflecting environmental adaptations...
The wild card,... is sex!...
Male birds have bright plumage for no practical reason other than to get nookie....
So, female smart monkeys decided for some reason, they liked less hair...
Maybe their men stunk less,... maybe less fleas... or maybe they just thought it looked better...
Everybody started looking for the less hairy mate, and we went with it.

That's my theory,.. n' I'm sticken to'it...

Excellent thought process.....
but.... following though with your thinking....

Does bright plumage jeopardize the male's survival? At the St. Louis Zoo for example, male peacocks roam the zoo free. And every now and then, they'll flare their feathers out and make their mating noise. (note: if you're not prepared for the noise, it will scare the $hit out of you....!) But, when they are done, the feathers go back down and they are return to 'normal'. Men can't shed fur and then grow it back within seconds. So, I don't think males losing fur is to attract females is why we don't have fur because we would not have survived the environment.

On the other hand, both animals and men today do incredible stupid things to get laid. We jeopardize our livelihoods and lives. Look how many men get shot when the husband comes home early......it happens. We know the risk, but we still do it. Male lions know if they pick a fight with the alpha-male, they might die, but they still do it.

But, back to the other hand, bright plumage or fighting is not the same thing as a fundamental change to our physiology.

Also, both male and female humans have no fur. In your example, only the males have the bright plumage and only the male lions fight. Why would females lose their fur and jeopardize their survival also?

Taken as a whole, good thinking, but I don't think sex is the answer. (and that is a statement I've never made my entire life.....)

Dull looking plumage on the male would indicate lesser vitality.
Which would tend to create less strong, vibrant offspring.

I can explain it to you, but you're gonna hafta try to understand it yourself. You know the point I've made is obvious and valid. There's just no benefit to Losing the ability to survive without being forced to create shoes and clothing. All of those hours dedicated to harvesting fibers to weave or skins to scrape and tan and stitch together with cordage spun up are hours NOT spent hunting and gathering. For an organism to mutate from a position that makes survival easier into a position that makes life harder goes against the very premise of evolution.
And you know that and are scrambling to come up with some way to make it not so.
Maybe there is a local college professor who has a solution that is an obvious fail.

And how do the big hairy guys do in school?
