Yes....OIC.
BUT, is it true that HU-MAN females' scalp hair gows faster then HU-MAN males?
Also, seems to me, as a HU-MAN male, my locks grow faster at defferent times of year.

Weedwhacker, it should be obvious why continuously growing hair and nails would be a risky disadvantage to primitives.
Cats shed their nails. In the wild, the nails of both cats and dogs are worn down by their activities.
*****Do Aisian, American Indian & Eskimos have tan skin or no? If they have been in the Norther climes for such a long time why didn't they turn white? You may be taking "migration and interbreeding" too lightly, as if it was just sooooo easy to walk from Africa to Alaska.****
******The prime directive of nature is survival. It cares not for smarts. No animal is any smarter than it has to be to survive. Nature would not give us intelligence beyond what we need.
****This is an illogical rationalization.****
****Oh really? They do not reproduce because they die. Since they die, how would anyone know? And yet you are claiming that evolution happens because of mutations? So if they rarely reproduce, whare are there so many varieites of life forms?***
****Maybe; we don't really know the ancestry of dogs like the Poodle.and the Portuguese Water Dog. They go back a long way. Maybe geneticly manipulation like modern humans were.****
****The Dingo is unique like some other animals in Australia. It has already been shown that if today's dog breeds were to be on their own in the wild, the would meld into a wolf looking dog. Don't tell me about dogs.I've bred and shown them.***
****Albinism is interesting. Don't you wonder why we don't have whole subspecies of them? Your other thing there looks like a birth defect. We had a 2 headed guinea pig one time. Born dead. And there was a really weird looking extra long bodied, large headed, baby rabbit, also dead.****
****I would not stake my life savings on any claim that we have fully mapped any genome.If this had been going on for 100 years I might put up $100.****
***As to your Epileptic pet rabbit....it was a domestic rabbit wasn't it?***
****Viracocha, Quetzelcoatl etc are described as I said. Most of the Ancient Greek and Roman Gods were blonde. In fact the ancient Greeks and Romans were blonde. Do the research.*****
****You are still not doing the logistics of the ways and means of a mutated creature's chances of passing on his new traits so that they multiply to create this whole new creature. And I do not feel like working it out for you.****
****I am well aware of the evolution dogma. Where is our missing link? Surely it has to be somewhere up close. Neanderthal was found.. (I know, he's not our ancestro-DNA test) So shouldn't there be something around the time of Neander...just before.? Surely if much older skulls have been found they can find this one.****
On hair growth. I'm female and my hair grows about 1/4 a week. You can measure your hair and find out how much it grows in a week, then you will know.

I would think that a human males hair would grow faster since we cut it more often? Or does it have absolutely nothing to do with the amount that it is cut?
Like if you were to start shaving your legs wouldn't it start to grow back thicker, darker and faster? Or is that just a rumor?

I didn't say that long hair would get a human killed by a predator.
And I think it should be obvious that long hair, long gowns, long belts etc can be a hazzard.
There were a large number of Native Americans that lived in the Northern part of the US and Canada. The winters were just as long then as now.
What animal would go pick on a lion? Now you are being ridiculous.
Yes predators are intelligent, but the didn't need to develop intelligence to the level that we have did they?
You are stating speculation as fact?
In fact it may have encouraged our ancestors to develop tools to deal with it.
I question the veracity of the time numbers....no one can know.
YOu need to research Poodle History. They do not know where it came from. Suspect it came from Asia, a very long time ago. It existed in Egypt they say about 700 BC.
Pink eyed white rabbits are Albino, and there are millions of them. Domestic of course.
Cro Magnon was not modern man, else we became quite downgraded since then. Did you read the info on him on my web site? He was very tall - over 6', very robust, had low forehead and large occiput. Likewise the Guanches of the Canary Islands.
Cro-Magnon remains are representative of the earliest anatomically modern human beings to appear in western Europe
I want to see more of those missing llinks (human) that you say there are. You do know that "Lucy" was a fraud don't you? One of many. I want to see a whole complete skeleton where all the bones were found in place......not that they find them miles apart. For some of these creatures, like Gigantopithicus, They didn't even find a complete skull.
On the blond Romans etc....it's late and I'm tired...I'll tell you another time.. Actually you could do the research yourself.

OK, I give up. I see we're talking different languages here. If you don't see the difference i'm helpless. I must admit I'm a bit sad at this. (i wish there was a smilie with tears but I can't find it).

I'm aware, its only our head hair which keeps growing. And I also have some of those weird hairs that grow really long on random places - like 3 on one arm, one in my eyebrows, some on my chest (they get like 6 or 7 inches long haha, i usually pull them out when i notice them because they look so goddamn weird).
