Scientists say a range of conditions, including skin disease and even a tendency towards tobacco addiction, have strong links to the DNA we retain from our ancient evolutionary cousins."

I've suffered from clinical depression, was a heavy smoker, have eczema, had a heart attack.,

No wonder I've got this pronounced forehead!

Speaking of bushy eyebrows, why is it you see a lot of male older farts like me letting their eyebrows get long and bushy ?.......IMHO it's not attractive at all.

I know it's time to trim mine when I start to look like the Wise owl ...

I have to trim mine between barber visits. :sentimental:

Between haircuts, either my girlfriend or I trim mine. Either that, or I have to comb them so I can see.

Maybe plucking them would be the answer.

Without a doubt there is some carry over. I don't think the earth was ever wiped completely clean during the extinctions which means various species species including man were able to keep on reproducing long enough for the dna to change or be altered. Man is still primal in many respects. Instead of hunting for food it's about who is the best consumer shopping instead of shopping or those with the drive to survive & thrive including developing a skill wether it's from school on one's own to live in today's world. What served a purpose thousands of years ago still might serve a purpose day in a different form.
