Ever Wondered Why---Why do we have Eyebrows?

Some people get their eyebrows waxed, tweezed, or just let them grow. Majority of the men do that. Some men do clean up their eyebrows so that they wouldn't have alot of wild hairs.. Some people completely shave them off and paint them on with a eyebrow pencil. Why? But, as I was putting a little bit of make-up on this morning, I actually wondered why do we have eyebrows. Do you know? Every thought about something else we have on our bodies but quite don't understand why we have them? Please share...

Body language/non-verbal communications. Stop and think about it. How much a person can communicate with just their eyebrows: surpise, anger, disbelieve, annoyance, etc. It would be difficult to see the "eyebrow" move if it was hairless. The difference in coloring allows it to be seen more easily, improving the non-verbal communication.

You'll need a mirror to find out for sure.

Gosh! You are consistently getting some great questions ,lol.You are making me think.Do I lose hair and hair from my eyebrow when I think too hard ?lolHmm...I seriously never thought about .Maybe to enhance beauty ? Or probably to stop the sweat beads to drop on our eyelashes and eyes ? Not sure though.I will have to ask Mona lisa ,how is life without eyebrows ? lol
