I didn't mean in terms of attractiveness to females. They seem to do fine there -- that I agree.

I just meant in terms of everything else, like the research showing that an identical resume with just different names (one black and one white sounding) the white sounding name will get many more call backs.

So, yes, I'd probably choose being black over being hairy if that were possible.

Maybe I missed you stating you were hairy and bald before... it's an odd combination, but not uncommon. I'd love to know why evolutionarily this is so common.

No, I meant I am neither. But if I could choose one trait, I'd probably opt for black instead of full-head-haired. Probably. It'd be a close one.

I believe the reason for general body hairiness, baldness and susceptibility to prostate cancer may be a mutation to the Dihydrotestosterone receptors. Or maybe there is just more of the hormone to begin with, I forget.
