Goosebumps occur as a physiological response when tiny muscles at the base of hair follicles contract, causing the hairs to stand upright. This reaction, known as piloerection, is triggered by various stimuli such as cold temperatures or emotional responses like fear or excitement. Historically, it served to make our ancestors appear larger to potential threats or to trap more air for insulation. Today, while the practical function has diminished in humans, the response persists as a remnant of our evolutionary past.
