Korea and northeastern China are the lowest and the Mediterranean region is the highest.
What is “male androgenic hair”? Body hair?
Doesn’t seem fully accurate, Koreans and northern Chinese are definitely more hairy than southeast asians
Is the frequency really this big in Europe? I am from Pakistan and I have a lot of androgenic hair, the funny thing is that my facial hair genes are the worst since I have got weak beard pattern with small patches but it is quite opposite with my body hair lol. I have always wondered why do people in especially West and South Asia have so much body hair compared to other people like Europeans or people from Central, North and East Asia.
Even if we accept that “independent studies” (whatever that means) are a valid source of data, nobody ever conducted a study that could produce this map.
E.g. those horizontal bands across the Sahara are obviously artifacts of the method chosen to produce this map, and not of any data that was collected there.
Im 15 and got hair all over my body exept seeable places like arms and face,im a bigfoot in the inside of my cloths and got them big foots (48eu 13.5us)
seems to correlate with ancient neanderthal regions or am I wrong here?
why are people near the Mediterranean hairy
Neanderthal gang!
Can confirm
The Mediterranean has always been a land of alpha males full of testosterone.
Interesting study, thanks for sharing! But what does “frequency” mean exactly?
Does it mean that 50 out of 100 people have hair and the other half don’t, if so, at what age?
Or, does it mean that people generally have 50% of body area covered by hair? If so, how was it calculated?
Or, does it work in a categorical way like they sum up the number of body areas covered?
Indoeuropeans and Afro Asiatic speaker* people are hairy
Strangely, It appears there are a lot of dudes wearing bear suits in hot climates.
The color choice of the map is not the best. It’s hard to see the different shades of red. A similar map with a different color scheme.

This is map is useless because it treats a spectrum as a binary. Men don’t either have or not have androgenic hair. They all fall somewhere on a spectrum of androgenic hair, ranging from almost none–a wispy goatee and nothing more– to a beard nearly up to the eyes that connects with thick full body hair almost everywhere except the palms and soles.
The Mediterranean is the ultimate source of body hair
Proud Medit-hair-anian here!
I’m curious why the countries on the Mediterranean have the most body hair. Is there any evolutionary reason why?
body hair is possibly an adaptation to malaria. ie mosquitos have trouble landing on the skin.
What does this mean? Everyone has some body hair, what’s their cutoff?
And who are they, and where did they publish this? The fact that they’re Canadian is one of the least relevant things we could be told. Why not the names or something?
Interesting pattern , I wonder what is the reason for this
