Why do we have eyebrows?

so you can lift one or the other(both if you like) when someone says or does something increadibly stupid.

I kind of went through the same as you. I always plucked my eyebrows for no reason and eventually needed to use eyeliner in place of it. All I can say of what I did is start to focus on a new activity. It was when I was young, so what I did was study more. Get your mind on something else. Read a book, play video games, maybe try to do activities when you are using your hands so you can't pull them. Good Luck. Hope you pull through. :-)

Eyebrows have evolved as being important in the non-verbal communication process to each other.  In a million years, the communication of eyebrows will hopefully be understood better, and convey non-verbal thoughts far more expressive than we could possibly fathom now.  Here is an example of how eyebrows have evolved in just the past couple of decades.  \n\nAlso, eyebrows are tweeked into shapes, usually arches.  The arch has gotten higher over time.  I suspect that the arch is here to stay, but there may be times when a wavy, swoop, or even some fancy design will become popular.  \n\nI also think that you would enjoy this FACS program that helps one decode facial actions.\n\nI bet you are also wondering why we even have eyebrows.  Well, I've got the link for that as well!

For the same reason women spend hours in front of the mirror and we just use it to shave: \n\na) self awareness (if you're a woman) \nb) vanity (if you're a man)\n\nP.S. I hate those trips to the mall :(

I'm not aware of any law that says you can't shave your eyebrows. It would look funny, but I'm sure you have your reasons. However, as a 14 year old, you should really listen to your mother. It's a fairly big decision. You may not realize all of the ramifications.

hair growth is primarily involved in protecting underlying structures, and for the purposes of keeping warm.  Gorilla's have hair all over and some maybe longer, if it is the arms this would indicated they are vulnerable parts exposed to trauma and cold.  we too are covered in hair but most of it is very short.  we have evolved our hair pattern to provide protection to our vulnerable areas...such as the head, the genitals, the arm pit, eyebrows.  however many men have hairy chests too, they dont need protection here anymore but evolution hasnt caught up with us yet...and maybe it serves as attaction feature for females.  Hairyness is related to high levels of testosterone so u should thinkabout that fact too...testosterone fueled males are more attractive to females

we smell/dress better-look better usually, and are way more sexy overall, plus we can talk to each other. And our eyes are nice too.

Why take off your beautiful freckles?

If you are lucky it may grow back in a couple of weeks. By the way,I read in a magazine that it is not advisable to pluck your eyebrows too often, because the plucked hair roots may be completely plucked out and if you are unlucky, no hair may grow back. Its safer to shave, but you must take care to avoid a cut.In fact, a friend of mine confirmed that actually happened to her mother who has to draw her eyebrows after it didnt grow back.

Wow, this question gets asked a LOT on here!  Your eyebrows are there to prevent sweat from getting into your eyes.

To help the body in homeostasis of body temperature!Also will stand on end when frightened like a cat but due to evolving to have less hair you just get goosepimples!\n\nWe probably evolved to have less hair due to our ability to produce clothing!Possibly still have head hair as we either didnt produce hats, or it conferred some advantage such as preventing heatstroke(by protecting the back of the neck and forehead)or sexual selection.

That depends - can you lick your own eyebrows? If not, don't worry about it.

There are mites that 95% of people have living in their eyelash follicles.  I think this is what peternal is talking about.  They don't actually cause dandruff, though.  Dandruff on your eyelashes is likely coming from your eyebrows.  It falls from the eyebrow and settles on your eyelashes.  The skin around your eyelashes can also flake, causing something that looks like dandruff.  If this is a problem for you, visit your eye doctor.  He/she can prescribe a care regimen that will help you keep it under control.

The eyebrow is a bony ridge above the eye that protects the eye and bears a tuft of facial hair in most mammals. The function of the eyebrow hair is to prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing sense of something near the eye, and prevent water or sweat from dripping into the eye.\n\nAn eyelash or simply lash is one of the hairs that grow at the edge of the eyelid. Eyelashes protect the eye from debris and perform some of the same function as whiskers do on a cat or a mouse in the sense that they are sensitive to being touched, thus providing a warning that an object (such as an insect or dust mote) is near the eye (which is then closed reflexively).

I had mine waxed once.  It kinda hurt, but they didn't wax them completely off.  They just waxed off excess to shape them nicely.  I went to a local dept. store salon, and they did it there.  \n\nJust tell them you want your eyebrows waxed and shaped--but not completely taken off.  They'll listen--they can be in danger of losing their job if they don't!

Amazing the natural selection process.  Originating form the times when we were living lifestyles more exposed to the weather, they help keep foreign materials from falling in our eyes.  Tree leaves, dust, rain, etc, coming from above us.\n\nTake a look at some of the earlier life forms, Neanderthals for example. see how thick their eye-brows, how deep their eye sockets are.
