How Humans Lost Their Fur: The Naked Ape Mystery Science Can’t Explain

Описание: Why did humans, unlike almost every other mammal, lose their fur? This evolutionary mystery has baffled scientists for decades. In this eye-opening documentary, we journey back nearly 2 million years to uncover the truth behind the naked ape paradox — a transformation so strange, it challenges everything we thought we knew about human evolution.

From endurance hunting in the African savannahs to thermoregulation and mate selection, this episode unpacks the leading theories — and exposes what still doesn’t add up. Why now? Why us? Was this a survival advantage or a byproduct of something deeper, like cognitive evolution or even social bonding?

We explore the fossil record, skin biology, climate change triggers, and even the timing paradox — why humans lost their hair so early, before most of our modern traits had even evolved.

If you’re curious about what really made us human — and why we look so drastically different from our primate cousins — this is the origin story you didn’t know you needed.
