But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?

I hear some people are born with just a solid skull with no hinges, it makes me so uncomfortable.

I just read here this morning, that beards are for protection of the neck...

OldWoodFrame ,

The "spandrel hypothesis" is the front runner explanation. Essentially we didn't evolve to have chins but rather evolved other things that are helpful, and the chin is a byproduct of that other evolution. Not harmful so it didn't get selected away, but not helpful.

MonkderDritte ,

But chin is one of the points determining attractivity in males?

AstralPath ,

If you're perpetually online, maybe? The only time you should give a shit about your chin is if you have an abnormally absent one. Like Andrew Tate for example.

Of course we know why. So that evolution could result in the universe's most perfect being.
