Why hair under armpits and nether regions.

[Dom Tuk]

Why do humans retain the hair under their armpits and groin area. What purpose could it serve and why has evolution not got rid of this hair.

Various theories have been suggested as to why we have pubic hair.  One is that it provides a sort of �cushion' during intercourse, another has it that hair there as well as in our armpits provided something for young to cling to - which sounds rather painful and rather like that old phrase about being "picked up by the fuzz"! - and finally that it acts as a �holding-area' for glandular secretions, as Andy says above.  Click http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_064a.html
