Human hair can be distinguished from animal hair by examining the medulla, which is the central core of the hair. In human hair, the medulla is often absent or very thin, while in many animal hairs, it is typically wider and more pronounced. Additionally, the cuticle pattern and the overall thickness of the hair can provide further clues; human hair usually has a more uniform diameter and a different scale structure compared to animal hair.

Why does human hair grow longer than animal hair and keep growing?
AnswerShort answer- noone knows exactly what selective advantage long scalp hair has. Most common theories are that it has something to do with sexual selection. This is the answer biologists tend to give when a feature has no obvious useful function. Difference is that human hair has a longer growth period (about 2-6 years) than the hair (fur) of most non-human animals. But again, noone really knows why. Answer An important aspect to keep in mind is that "animal hair" is indeed growing all the time, but it also falls off. Thus an equilibrium is reached where the hair in animal fur stays, on average, at a "constant" length. The same would happen with the hair that remains at a constant length in humans (like hair of the arms).
Where do nits come from and can you catch them from animals or hairs of animals?
