A interesting and recent paper, march 2020
Do Hair Follicles Operate as Primitive, Multifocal Kidney-Like Excretory (Mini-) Organs?

Is this an explanation of the long hair scalp in humans after miniaturized body hair? They don´t mention this isssue in the work

How embarrassingly primitive human garbage disposal techniques
were in comparison, before somebody figured out recycling…! One might even applaud the HF
for its ecologically responsible disposable strategy, whereby the offending toxins remain encased
for a very long time in difficult-to-digest, environmentally innocuous protein fibers, until these
finally are broken up by trichophytes

Bold take.
