Do different races experience different hair growth? If you look at videos of Africans you will see the men are all bald and have no body hair, while the women all have curly black afros that go up straight.

As per european men, their chests are covered in hair, and the women have straight blonde hair that goes down naturally.

I have seen countless evidence of this, black women always buy hair products to force their "natural hair" to look like white women's hair, or they often go bald and use a wig.

When I asked ChatGPT about the hair problem, it told me such a thing is just the result of misinformation in the media, and hair varies within races more than it does between races.

What do you say? Surely nobody disputes the eye color problem, but what about the hair problem? Lol.

Skill issue. I searched "relationship between baldness associated genes and race" and the AI card at the top indicated there is a relationship and liked this study:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10827056/
I barely skimmed it but it seems the practical upshot is that, not only is there variations in baldness patterns across race, the genes we associate with baldness in one race do not generalize well across races. Ie. even the genes that correlate with baldness in different races are distinct.

>>16962139
Basically you're saying....
So race is not skin deep? Lol.
>>
>>16962142
What a retarded thing to be fixated on.
Yes. It's been known for a very long time that there are genetic differences between races. The "race is skin deep" thing is just a pithy slogan to indicate that the things retards like you try to correlate with race don't actually generalize as well as would be politically convenient for you.

They aren't actually saying "race is just skin color." They're telling you to fuck off.

> you will see the men are all bald and have no body hair
You're right to say that last part, but the former just seems like you're observing cultural differences. Last I checked, black men were less prone to baldness than white men, though black women were more prone to baldness than white women.

Heat adaptation. Picrel is a Khoisan, their hair is even curlier.
>>
>>16962156
So it is not skin deep lol.
>>
>>16962156
what next? Are you going to tell me genetics have an effect on behavior?
>>
>>16962131
Yeah there's definitely some amount of connection between hair growth and race. Any race can experience baldness, any race can have body hair or facial hair, but some races/ethnicities are more likely to be hairy while others tend to be less hairy. iirc Native Americans have the lowest incidence of baldness, they also often have sparser facial hair + body hair. Caucasians, especially from the Mediterranean, have the highest rates of baldness and tend to be really hairy on their bodies and faces.

Well it's just the nature of evolution.
Like we can't just be blind and pretend black people don't have darker skin, how far are we gonna do? At least you can say that there are difference but just not any important differences. Like, evolution and genetics proves that there's literally differences, and you'd have to be genuinely insane to think there's NO differences or just one difference, evolutionary speaking, they probably evolved to have less hairs because of living in a hotter place, the savana, and I think they have brown eyes because it makes it easier to see when it's brighter outside. And I don't know why they have darker skin though because I thought darker colors absorbs more heat lol.

Yes, this has been noted by anthropologists since the fucking 19h century.

Dark skin protects from skin cancer.

>>16962341
you are really dumb aren't you, and insecure too, you just have to find a reason to feel better about your pathetic life by trying to find non-existent differences btn groups of people, you must be one of those neckbeard neets who has nothing going on for them and whose entire self esteem rests on racial identity and nothing else, no matter how many threads you start about this, it won't make you smarter, you will remain the same pathetic guy because you don't want to work on yourself

OP is either extremely ignorant or he's trolling with this post.

Leave me alone lol.

kek ofc they do what kind of question is this?
their averages are different, and even the genes themselves might be completely different

>>16962142
ofc not asians are a prime example of this. they look almost identical from the outside, but have dif ancestries
while in europe and scandinavia you see a lot of variety, but the genes overlap for the most part
>>
>>16962139
Distinct, or the information could be rewritten and lost. So it's really skin-deep DNA data recording.
