Day #23 Why Do You Think Eyebrows Exist?

Eyebrows exist because they show emotion! Think about it--how many times have you  communicated to someone through your eyebrows?! You raise them when you're questioning something a person has said, you furrow them to let someone know you're mad, you squeeze them together when you're laughing or happy, you lower them when you're sad--You use them to talk to people all the time!  Also, they're a form of beauty. Look at what people look like without their eyebrows! 

THEY LOOK REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And not attractive at all. So basically, eyebrows make you look like a human being. Looking like a human being is naturally something that you would like to occur.

But , i'm no eyebrow expert. So what do all the smart people say about this?

"Scientists aren't entirely sure why we kept this hair, but they have a pretty good guess. We know that eyebrows help keep moisture out of our eyes when we sweat or walk around in the rain. The arch shape diverts the rain or sweat around to the sides of our face, keeping our eyes relatively dry. The most obvious advantage of this is that it lets us see clearly when we're sweating a lot or out in the rain. Without eyebrows, getting around in these conditions is a little more difficult. The shape of your brow itself diverts a certain amount of moisture, but eyebrows make a significant difference in your ability to see. Diverting the sweat away is also good because the salt in sweat irritates the eyes, making them sting a little."

Basically, eyebrows are like little umbrellas for your eyeballs! And they make you not look like an alien! And they help you tell people what you're thinking!

That, my friend, is why they exist. 

So don't get rid of them because you need them to live.
