No, I meant I am neither. But if I could choose one trait, I'd probably opt for black instead of full-head-haired. Probably. It'd be a close one.

I believe the reason for general body hairiness, baldness and susceptibility to prostate cancer may be a mutation to the Dihydrotestosterone receptors. Or maybe there is just more of the hormone to begin with, I forget.
