The answer is that eyelashes have one main purpose -- protecting your eyes. They help to keep dirt, germs, and other stuff out of your eyes, which are very delicate and need to be kept clean! Our eyelashes also help us know when a foreign object is headed towards our eye - when they sense the touch of some dirt or dust, they quickly send us the message to shut our eye and keep out the invader!

Are eyelashes an adaptation of humans?
Yes. Certain people genetically have longer or shorter eyelashes based on their ancestry. I have Moroccan descent which traces my oldest ancestors to the Arabian peninsula.

Whereas people with ancestry who do not need them as an adaptation as much have seemingly shorter and sometimes no eyelashes.
