What's the evolutionary reason for our head hair? Why is

Fashion

similar to those birds who attract mates with their feathers

Yes. Baldness is the next step. And it is already happening. Look how many people have cancer these days. If you have cancer, you get chemo. Chemo gives you baldness. So the logical conclusion is that cancer and baldness is evolution.

>>8721089
That depends, do bald/balding people get laid more or have more offspring than their hair cover counterparts? If the answer to that question is no, then no, balding is not the next evolutionary step.

the mutation happened, humans were to smart to really be affected by a different hair color so it wasn't harmful to the bearer

Evolution is not a series of steps you mongoloids. There is no predictable 'next step', evolution has only to do with adaptation to the environment and sexual selection. There is not reason to believe mankind is evolving since there is no natural selection anymore.

Nigger you dumb

The only natural selection I can think of is with respect to pathogens. But even then, the fact that we cure a great deal of them removes the possibility that mutations which may offer immunity against pathogens be selected for. It is you who are the dumb nigger.

>>8721951
Sounds like you don't even know what the fuck natural selection is. Read a book, sport

>>8721960
Well if you're so clever, give me an example of natural selection occurring within the human population today.

Have you ever looked at a young woman with long hair, and how beautifully it flickers with the wind? It's an attention grabber to benefit procreation, just like the peacock tail. It's why many societies and religions force women to cover their hair with a scarf, it's a way of controlling sexuality

>baldness the next step?
A step towards age and death.

Social grooming behavior.

We are devolving. Just look at fagots with osteogenesis imperfecta who are having children. Literally what the fuck is wrong with them. Look at the countless niggers and Muslims that breed without end. I swear modern fertilizers and farming techniques have doomed us as a species.

Hair covers your scalp and prevents the cranium from overheating in the sun.
Humans of recent African descent retain their curly hair, which stands up to let wind through to further enable cooling. Straight hair, which is an adaptation to cooler environments, lays flat against the cranium and keeps it warm in winter. That's why humans with recent ancestors out of Africa have straighter hair.
