Hair is absent on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands primarily due to evolutionary adaptations. These areas are subject to frequent contact and friction, making hair unnecessary and potentially detrimental as it could harbor dirt and impede grip. Additionally, the lack of hair allows for better sensory perception and temperature regulation in these regions. This adaptation has evolved to enhance functionality and protect against environmental challenges.
