I'm not sure if the % means how much body hair the average man has or rather how many men cross some baseline threshold for having body hair. Either way, I thought this was mildly interesting.

Have a friend whose family are from central/southern Europe. She says they call it the 'Hair Belt.'

I thought Rome was founded by to wolf-raised brothers, not two "bears".

Its not about androgenic hair loss?

No:

Androgenic (body) hair is the terminal hair that grows on the body beginning puberty. It is distinguished from the head hair and less noticeable vellus hair that is much finer and lighter color.

Didn't know I was an outlier in this regard, neat

So apparently I'm not in the lucky 40% based on my location.

And is there a map of women with androgenic hair?
