[Paleopsych] binary nature:an amusing correlation

[Alice Andrews]

I wrote that I suspected that the less hair, the more novelty -seeking, and

but it gets tricky...(hair on head vs. hair on face and body)..facial/body
hair unequivocally signals high testosterone...and both Lenin and T sported
facial hair...

Bye bye,
