The exact reason why bearded men are here

Why are bearded men, while women and children not? What is the purpose of this "soggy" beard?

Humans are almost the only mammal that has no hair covering the whole body, because we already have clothes to replace the task of keeping warm.

But what about beard? Why do we have beards? And why are only men with beards, and women and children absolutely not?

Previous studies have explained this, saying that bearded men are to attract women, increasing their ability to find partners. However, a new study has shown that the main purpose of growing beards is just to become more confident and "bear" when faced with other men.

And not only beard, voice is also an evolutionary trait for this. To demonstrate, scientists in the United Kingdom conducted a study on 20 men and 20 women. Candidates will be asked to assess the "bear" level and charm of 6 men.

A person who does not bear a beard will become "more prestigious".

The results showed that men with deep, warm voices were considered charming. However, the problem lies in the voice must be "just enough" , and the high and deep voice must be taken lightly. In contrast, the deeper the voice is, the more intimidating the person becomes with other men.

As for the beard, even this factor does not affect the level of evaluation of charm. However, a person who does not bear a beard will become "more prestigious" .

In fact, some previous studies have suggested that women like bearded men, but all of them have insufficient evidence. Moreover, many studies also show that many women find it very beautiful for men to have smooth beards.

Therefore, scientists have come up with another possibility. Specifically, in reproductive issues, we are not simply beautiful but also have to compete with same-sex individuals . And this is why men need to grow beards.
