sure.. not very effective unless you're a hairy mofo lol.
for instance it serves no purpose to certain racial groups or peoples which tend to have little to no hair.
I guess up until 1200 or so, men and women had almost exactly the same body hair patterns.

that wiki article was interesting. I gathered from it that its not particularly geared towards one idea but as it said moreso that goose bumps were a response towards emotion.
how do we argue though that from around year 1200 we had similar hair patterns given the demographic nature of the species? im not denying this just trying to understand it, and if so, that this was the case, then along with the hair patterns, goose bumps became a genetically inherent composite globally, not individually specialized to one particular sub group. And, what is the relationship between hair and goose bumps?

Hey, now that TC has fixed the title to include the word "WE", do you think they could correct that spelling on "then"... should be "than".
Thank you.
