Description
The evolution of the (not so) hairless human body
Leah Redmond is a certified trichologist, who completed her studies with the Institute of Trichology whilst also studying Molecular bioengineering at Imperial College, London!
She has completed her bachelor's & masters projects covering Male Pattern hair loss, when her interest in trichology began, and she is now completing a PHD on the hair papilla.
She has been studying hair fibre pigmentation & human body hair evolution- basically how we evolved to our current (non- furry) state! She has been looking at the body hair of monkeys, compared to humans.
She has written a review which has been accepted by the British Journal of Dermatology.
We discuss how this change in body hair ay have occurred, what even is the dermal papilla and what does it do? Gene mutations, and why we may have hair at all.
