    Not to derail or anything but that's technically not true and there's more evidence against it than for it, to use an example all our ape relatives and most mammals have straight hair, curly hair is a mutation and likely one that occurred somewhat early on in our evolution. Further curly/woolly hair is something seen in other mammals as a mutation, even birds for example can have curled feathers, the likely answer is that curly hair is a mutation that occasionally develops and is bolstered by environmental factors where having that hair is advantageous. Whether it be a natural form of sunblock or better insulation or whatever, hence why Woolly Rhinos and Mammoths (ice age species) had it, it's also likely why some body hair is naturally curly as in all environments it provides an insulating element for more sensitive areas more susceptible to heat loss.

    The groin, armpits, and neck/jaw are prime heat vents for our bodies and the genitals in particular can be very sensitive to temperature shifts which actually can and do interfere with procreation.

    To put it more optimistically there is no 'natural' hair type, both curly and straight hair are hardcoded in the human race... just objectively one came after the other.

    That's incorrect, you answered it yourself, one came after the other. One is natural, the one that follows is a mutation. Thus the second one is the "ethnic" one. We're talking about human hair here, not Woolly mammoths, apes, not dinosaurs, or whatever came before.

    And the "ethnic" one is curly/woolly hair, straight hair is the one that came first.

    No it wasn't, what are you going to say next? That bears were the first humans? I don't think you understand that humans and animals are not the same thing.

    Also, they are getting into theories.

    In that regard, it depends on your beliefs. As a Black man, I don't consider any of my relatives or skinfolk to be apes without getting decked.....

    The evolution and big-bang people do a lot of moon-walking and back peddling.......Example, a BIG-Bang lacks the intellect to carefully piece components of the universe together to ensure people are not disintegrate by the sun. If one is saying a big bang ALONE caused this...........

    A theory changes when an alternate hypothesis comes into play. Here is the definition of a theory.....

    I would say yes to more hairstyles in general. Character creation in this game is lacking imo. I am not expecting BDO......But it could be better imo.
