I wonder if there is a measurable correlation between things like 'amount of time spent outdoors' and 'amount of body hair'... Could such an effect actually happen in humans as well?
To actually measure causation rather than correlation, though, you'd need a much more intensive experiment tracking a large number of individuals both before and after changing their lifestyle to either be less outdoors or more outdoors.

the thing about us is that our species basically developed because we domesticated ourselves, it's like trying to rewild naked mole rats, being naked and social is their wild state.
