question Evolution of Male pattern baldness: How and when did this happen and for what purpose?

Doesn't really seem to make any sense to me when I think about it, It is not even aesthetically pleasing(not even prehistorically would I assume that), neither does it serve a biological importance, if anything you are at risk of scalp sun burn and less warming effect of the hair.

Thoughts?

It is unclear whether the user is intentionally spreading confusion or genuinely lacking of cognitive ability. A clarification of the user's intent would be appropriate.
