Looking for an answer to a question like this on wiki answers is pretty useless. No matter how hard you try people will be bias about it, so I recommend that you should research both sides of the story. It is really hard to get a definite answer over wikipedia, because everyone can change it. newtest3 Look, to those of you who are modern Turks, we Armenians dont blame you. However your ancestors assassinated nearly all of our population and took our land. So thats why every single year on April we have this thing called Armenian Genocide to show how desperate we felt about out ancestors who died in 1915 because of that war. SO BACK OF PEOPLE, ARMENIANS DID NOTHING WRONG! Thanks! The first answer says: ... you should research both sides of the story. It is really hard to get a definite answer over wikipedia, because everyone can change it. This is easy to say, and hard to do. In the end you have to decide which sources to trust, and which not to trust.

Armenians are very hairy people because during the armenian genocide they got raped by the Turks and the Turkish people are hairy therefore they are hairy.
But the scientific answer would be: Hair growth in humans is complicated and influenced by several different genes and hormones. The prevailing theory is that we evolved to have less hair than primates because our ancestors evolved sweating as a strategy to keep cool on the African savannah, and too much hair gets in the way of sweating.
But the evolutionary reasons why hairiness varies with ethnicity are unclear. Caucasian people are generally hairier than the Japanese, for example, even though testosterone levels are the same. The difference seems to be in how sensitive the hair follicles are to those testosterone levels. So it depends on a lot of factors which are hard to pinpoint. Also Armenians being hairy is also a steriotype.

@yellowkoala130 Are you dumb? you are telling people wrong information. Please stop the cap. Why are you even telling people about Armenians getting raped by Turks, how come have this even have effect on hair growth. Please if you can't answer properly then just don't. Mister @blackswan491 Armenians have high testosterone in their DNA even women, it really also depends on the background of an Armenian, some come from the far west of Armenia usually more hairy and some are from east.
