Haven't played video games since Sony Playstation. The first one. I was 25 then. Gotta grow up sometime.

Very cool.

Neeto. What, no naked mole rat?



I've actually found a Ajolote before near the mexican border in California. I didn't know what to make of it but I eventually concluded on my own that it was some kind of reptile. It wasn't until years later that I got any info about them or pics. I was actually looking for another type of reptile. A subterranian, blind legless lizard. I forget what they're called but they look like a worm. People often mistake them for worms.

Humans.

Yeah, I guess when you really think about it, for an ape we are pretty strange looking.

We need more hair.

[ConcinusMan]

But that would put clothing designers out of work.

Lack of hair was and advantage to our ancestors in the Savanna because it allowed us to loose heat through sweat. We could gather food in the heat of the day when the predators where sleeping in the shade.As a result it makes us look rather odd compared to other animals

Baboons live on the savannah and still have fur. So do all other mammals there. Also, losing heat through sweating is incredibly wasteful of water. Also, our ancestors weren't hairless despite living in the same region.
Another hypothesis is that being hairless makes it easier to spot external parasites.
The aquatic ape hypothesis is just dumb, let's not get into that one at all.
