Why do we need eyebrows?

We all have eyebrows, and in our society, we use them for a variety of things: attractiveness, facial expressions, and simply being unique. But why did nature put them there to begin with? We have plenty of hair on our bodies to keep us warm, so why leave these small patches there? Well, there are a few reasons why we still have them there.

To begin with, they help keep sweat and rain out of our eyes, and diverts it to the sides of our face. This gives us some natural advantages, such as being able to see clearer, allowing for easier hunting and building of shelter. Simple survival is also clear, and we need to see when running away from a predator. A question that many people often have is what would happen if we didn’t have eyebrows? There are a few theories out there, such as we would grow thicker eyelashes, or our skulls would protrude out further creating a ledge for the rain and sweat to fall off of. Eyebrows are important, and no matter what someone’s eyebrows look like, they have a purpose.
