Do not forget, beards also protect your face from the elements, i.e. sunlight, cold temperatures, etc.

"Honey i've noticed you stopped shaving your beard"

"No, no, not at all sweetie, im just putting on my fur armor"

Watch all the boxing and MMA bros grow beards after hearing this news. 😂

this doesn’t prove that we developed beard growth for that reason it only proves that having a beard protects against attacks

Alternate title" scientist found out beards are natural face armor"

May be another reason male lions have manes. It's very hard to sink your teeth into someone's throat if your mouth is filled with hair.

I thought he would say "To test this theory, scientists punched two men, one with beard and other one without one."
Edit: i just noticed people can argue about anything. I'm bald btw

I work in a sawmill making pallets, and all I cant say is my beard has stopped many a chunk of wood and tiny bits of metal from hitting my neck, and for that, I'm grateful

That’s why babies couldn’t stand against me in the ring

So Santa has this Giant Beard because he often goes into hand-to-hand combat?

[mitchbarton]

So you’re saying all men with facial hair are gearing up to fight ….. that checks out.

Beards: protect the face from lacerations
Humans: invent shaving, increasing face lacerations

[dirk]

Aliens: so what's the deal with hair on your faces?

Oh, it gives us a 55% damage negation in hand to hand combat.

[StormlightArchives]

That’s so fascinating!! I wonder if that’s why people who have broken bones often experience more hair growth around the area! Like an attempt to protect the more vulnerable, already broken spot
