    According to yahoo answers........

    It ain't about the heat, honey. It's about the stink.

    People stink. And theres a lot of different 'kinds' of stink. Most of all, theres the 'oo lah lah' kind of stink. You know the sensation. When someone just has that type of body order that makes your inner primate go 'Whoohoo!' with lust?

    Thats where our armpit and pubic hair come in. While its true they do provide some warmth, the leading evolutionary theory toward this specific growth of body hair has to do with our personal smells.

    Our sweat and those billion of skin cells we drop all have chemical triggers, which catch onto our hair follicles. This helps keep some of our more pheromone-producing areas (our loins and major sweat glands in the armpits), keeping their sexual attraction juices staying on the body.

    Since being sexually attractive is a big survival and genetic propagation bonus, the hair remains today, even though we're no longer quite as 'nose' addicted as our animal ancestors.

    Of course, with our modern tools and chemicals and the common views of such hair in Western societies? You're right to say that we're a bit outdated in having it. They aren't great for warmth, but they are great for keeping in those smells...but will society and technological advances kill the need for female armpit hair?

    We'll have to wait and see.

    men have nipples because as embryos, males and females have similar features like nipnips and they just remain there ever after you're born.

    It also provides some friction relief while the arm & body rub together.

    So we can grow it really long and then weave it across the chest to create a boob support

    Most?

    Well you got to take into account inbreeding, they tend to either have too many or not enough.

    And you just never know. I didn't want to say all because then someone would contradict me.

    I personally think it's for the entertainment value. The look on peoples faces when your doing the backstroke at the local pool and they see the braids trailing behind you.
