Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Good question, never thought of that, but you are right, living in a jungle, and being an ape man, he should have a beard.\nHowever, as he is a fictional character, and often played in television or the movies, by some handsome actor, usually well built.\nThe movie companies wish to let their audience see the face of the real man. Just my guess.

No, that's just not attractive to me.\nHuman adults are naturally hairy. Why would someone want to look like a kid?\nAnd what's the big obsession with shaving everything lately? \n\nFYI, there is nothing so sexy as a man with a hairy chest, and I think it's best to keep the "other" hair as well.

Steinbrenner's rules state no beards or long hair.\n\nThe Fu Manchu was a mustache.  Not a beard.  Therefore, it didn't break the rules.\n\nSteinbrenner recently allowed Jeff Weaver to have pretty long hair, and didn't complain when Roger Clemens used to take the mound with razor stubble.\n\nHe's a hard, but fair owner, who expects a certain degree of professionalism from his players.\n\nAdditionally, the rule was changed for Jack McDowell a while back, who was allowed to keep his goatee.

never really, they don't really have to grow a beard, how it basically goes is like this- According to Jewish law, Jews aren't allowed to shave with a razor (a single blade), but scissor action(like in most electric shavers)is allowed. Before electric shavers were invented, Jewish men let their beards grow, and now some traditional Hasidim still follow that. Also their are 2 time periods a year when they aren't allowed to shave(except for business reasons), one of about 5 weeks,and one of 3 weeks.

It is a guess. \n\nI've seen pictures in National Geographic of a museum in Germany which has two statues, both Neanderthals. One is clean-shaven, with a good haircut and dressed in a 3-piece navy blue suit. He's carrying a briefcase. The other is the classic "Cave man" - long hair, beard, bear-skin toga, carrying a club. The contrast is striking. The one in the suit could probably walk through Manhattan at lunch time without getting stares.\n\nThe beard on most reconstructed prehistoric men is based on the fact that razors were hard to come by back then. You need a straight, sharp piece of metal to make a decent razor. It is physically possible to shave with an obsidian blade, but no one in their right mind would do it every day.\n\nThe long hair is another guess, again based on the fact that scissors are hard to make without metal. You could trim hair by laying it along an obsidian blade and whacking it with a soft stick (Some Amazon natives do this with their steel machetes) but you'd run the risk of shattering your blade.\n\nIf you mean the ice age ancestors, everything was hairier then - rhinos, elephants, horses - so our ancestors in the colder regions probably had pelts.

Sorry, there's no method! Beard grows alone... as like as any other hair on the body and it should grow for ever, apart some specific pathology that could impede the growth. If you are a boy ... just get patience, while with the old age there is an inevitable slow and less growth of the beard (but of any hair in general).

well, only primates have hands. But I doubt this is the case. How do you know it is a fact that humans and not gorillas, orangatans and chimpanzeess shade their eyes?Mark Twain once said " Man is the only animal that blushes, and needs to."

Because they haven't quite finished evolving yet! Back when we were apes, every once in awhile Mama ape would go out with all of her girlfriends to the local cave tavern. Papa ape had to stay behind and feed Junior ape. Since there was no Mama ape around, and no milk man delivered any freshly squeezed milk from an anklysoaraus, then Papa ape had to resort to using his own nipples to provide Junior ape with the nourishment he needed to be a big strong hairy caveman.\n\nThe real answer is, because God created man with two nipples. End of story.

Absolutely, he should call himself a bear.  Being hairy is just one aspect of beardom--and I've met very few "perfect" bears.  Some don't have bellies, some don't have beards, some wouldn't be caught dead camping, and some are quite effeminate.  It's just a label to give other guys a general idea of what we are like, and what we are into.

this has been batted back and forth in the comics for years.  Some stories have it that his hair doesn't grow under Earth's yellow sun, and therefore, he doesn't need to; others say that he does it himself with a mirror and tightly-focused heat vision.

They are genetic. Native Americans have very little or no facial hair. Where as european and nordic peoples have abundant facial hair.  People of Asian decent also have very little facial hair. It all has to do with your racial genetics.

one reason may be that humans don't go running through the bush as other mammals to. onther reason is in the genes. Some mammals may have genes the control the growth of hair in some species. \n\nBut i like the thought of the first one. if we were having to run and catch our food or we had to sleep on the ground our hair may not be allowed to grow as long.
