Our nearly hairless skin was a key factor in the emergence of other human traits.
Among primates, humans are unique in having nearly naked skin. Every other member of our extended family has a dense covering of fur—from the short, black pelage of the howler monkey to the flowing copper coat of the orangutan—as do most other mammals. Yes, we humans have hair on our heads and elsewhere, but compared with our relatives, even the hairiest person is basically bare.

Alts: Alternative investments made simple
Sure, everyone knows about the stock market. And maybe they own some real estate and a little bit of bitcoin. But there's a world of investment opportunity out there that is under-discussed.
That's what Alts is all about.
We explore and demystify the world of alternative investments through our newsletter and podcast. We're not a link aggregator that summarizes what you've already heard elsewhere, we do original, deep-dive explorations into dozens of investible asset classes.
