> In my experience, I've seen no correlation between eyebrows and the number of offspring. Many people pay money to disagree with that assessment, at least according to sales of eyebrow pluckers, waxers, and makeup kits that are specifically designed to make it more attractive. Either those people are wasting their time (which needs explanation, since over time people who waste their time and money on things that don't aid reproductive success should be selected away). If it does matters to their reproductive success, then it reflects either cultural or a deeper preference. Personally, I have heard people comment about people who either lack eyebrows (usually through some stupid prank or accident) or have very thick eyebrows. Not having eyebrows definitely interferes with facial signaling, and we signal quite a bit through eye contact. 'The eyes are the windows to the soul'. The eyebrows frame them.
