Oooohh the eminentity (not a word? tough) of DF 2010 is making me jittery. I'll be donating upon release, if that gives you guys any encouragement.

what happened to updates? either toady are prepearing for release or he hasn't been home for few days.

Or there nothing really to report.

Bug testing isn't exactly the most exciting thing to report.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he's bug testing, and getting rid of bugs that aren't really interesting enough to warrant a devlog post.

Possibly they be spoilery.

Probably this. "Game crashes when X" is notably less interesting than "X problem when trying to accurately simulate the multiple beheadings of a hydra", or the like.

You're looking at it the wrong way. Not why do we have beards, but why did we lose all our other hair?

Cats don't have beards, because cats have fur.

Because it's harder to shed heat when you're covered in fur.

Saw the docu Becoming Human today and that was the main theory they purported. Didn't catch why we managed to keep things like pubic hair (which always confused me), head hair made sense in colder climes, and thick hair growth on the body is connected to testosterone in humans (unrelated to the docu).

From my understanding its body temperature regulation and before human lost the ability to do phomena some of that to.

I'm not an expert on this by any means, but here's a side-note:

Humans have been incredibly good hunters because they hunted through endurance hunting. They simply could chase animals for so long that the animal would become exhausted while the human could keep going. We managed that through temperature regulation--we sweated and we had very little body hair. Without that fur, we would not overheat and dehydrate and all that bad stuff.

As far as pubic hair goes, I have no idea for females, but I speculate (only speculate) that pubic hair might have stayed on men, potentially and partially, to help keep the epididymis warm so that sperm didn't die. I learned in high school health classes that sperm needs a remarkably regulated temperature to stay alive and so I'm guessing some sort of link from that to pubic hair.

I thought pubic and underarm hair were to trap pheremones.

This was my understanding too. I can't cite my sources because I have no idea where I first heard it. Also this is sort of a strange tangential discussion.

I remember that being purpose of underarm arm hair, however human beings have no function ability to denote pheromones.

If I recall, there a small tingle of registry but nothing of merit.

Maybe not consciously, but humans can definitely detect pheremones. There've been conclusive studies. For example, when an ovulating woman's sweat was introduced to a room, men on average rated the same group of female photographs significantly higher in attractiveness than when the scent of a non-ovulating woman was introduced.

"Today I fixed a bug where some extremely esoteric facet of dwarven behaviour was marginally different from normal in an unlikely combination of circumstances. You can imagine the hilarity that ensued."

Pubic hair discussion

Personally, I compare them to the heat-sinks on CPUs. Seeing as the CPU is the "brain" of the computer, and they say that us males think with our genitals.
