We Have Pubic Hair for a Reason

[opiate69]

474. A couple points then...

"If people had lice anywhere on their body, why didn't everyone shave their heads as well?"

1. Pubic lice and head lice are not the same insect.

2. Many actually did shave their heads as well. Such as ancient Egyptians.
"In ancient Egypt, depilation was commonly practiced to prevent infestation by lice. Typically, tweezers were used to pluck out individual hairs. In both Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, the removal of body and pubic hair may have been practiced among both men and women. It is represented in some artistic depictions of male and female nudity,[citation needed] examples of which may be seen in some red figure pottery of Ancient Greece on which both men and women were depicted without body or pubic hair."
