Hair used to be a whole lot more purposeful than body ornamentation. Sure, we realize that it protects us from the sun. Our eyelashes act as defense against bugs, dust and other foreign particles. But back in the day, the hair covering our nether regions camouflaged our reproductive parts from threats. By lining our armpits and groins, our dry hair actually lubricates our arms and legs, so we can move about without chafing.

For early humans, hair kept them warm, provided camouflage, protected them from cuts and even served as a nice handhold for the young. We lost a lot of hair because of the invention of heaters and parkas. Our ancestors most likely started hunting in hot, tropical areas. Read more at (See related Link)

Your question verges on stereotypes concerning people and can be taken as discriminatory . The reason people have the color of hair they do is due to DNA and hair dye. Some people have red hair, some are blonde, others brown or with black hair it makes no difference. People are people.
