Why do we have eyebrows?

Why do we have eyebrows?

Have you ever wondered Why do we have eyebrows?

So Why do we have eyebrows? Lets take a look

In today’s blog we are going to take a look at the reasons Why do we have eyebrows?.
Eyebrows are a very significant aspect of our appearance. They are one of the most distinctive features that make up our faces and we pay a lot of attention to them.  Some types of eyebrows may be attractive and some not so attractive.  Many people spend as much time preening their eyebrows as they do applying makeup.  Eyebrows are also one of our most expressive facial features. One of the clearest ways to tell somebody what you’re thinking is to simply move your eyebrows up or down.
So eyebrows obviously serve a lot of functions in our culture today, beauty, nonverbal communication and distinctive appearance. But why are they there in the first place? As we evolved and lost most of the thick hair on our bodies, why did we keep that little bit over our eyes?
Scientists aren’t entirely sure why we have kept this hair, but they have a pretty good idea. We know that eyebrows help keep moisture out of our eyes when we sweat or walk around in the rain. The arch shape diverts the rain or sweat around to the sides of our face, keeping our eyes relatively dry. The most obvious advantage of this is that it lets us see clearly when we’re sweating a lot or out in the rain. Without eyebrows, getting around in these conditions is a little more difficult. By diverting the sweat away from our eyes prevents the salt in sweat irritates the eyes.
So it is very important to keep our eyebrows, do not over pluck or shave them.  You may think this is obvious but we often see disaster brows and now you know that they do have a purpose so look after what you have.  So Why do we have eyebrows? now have the answer to this.
