What is the purpose of our eyebrows?

To catch sweat, right?

peedub nailed the answer cold. Additionally, here’s what Wikipedia says:

The main function of the eyebrow is to prevent moisture, mostly salty sweat and rain, from flowing into the eye, an organ critical to sight. The typical curved shape of the eyebrow (with a slant on the side) and the direction in which eyebrow hairs are pointed, make sure that moisture has a tendency to flow sideways around the eyes, along the side of the head and along the nose. Together with the brow ridges, the eyebrows also shade the eyes from sunlight.

Eyebrows also prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing a more sensitive sense for detecting objects being near the eye, like small insects.

Eyebrows also have an important facilitative function in communication, strengthening expressions like surprise or anger.

Eyebrows.

To catch sweat, dirt, and debris before it all hits your eyes. But maybe you should becleaning yourself more if that is truly a concern…

For me to arch jauntily.

I always use the “one raised” effect!

To increase the effectiveness of my WTF-face

Caterpillars?

To differentiate people like you and me from Marilyn Manson.

… and Ziggy Stardust.

Where would The Rock be without The People’s Eyebrow! http://www.cassiuscomics.com/images/4/48/People’s_Eyebrow.jpg

To make my frown more dramatic. >:^(

Whoopee Goldberg doesn’t have any eyebrows either.

For eyebrow waxers to make money.

I was just going to ask this, but then i searched “purpose of eyebrows.” I love our new search feature. :)

Eyebrows are the primary indicator of the color of our pubic hair

@plethora- I believe it’s the eyelash color, not the eyebrow. At least that’s what I was always told.

@AstroChuck My brows are a tad darker than my lashes… but they’re both red. :D

@augustlan- So that means the color of your… uh, nevermind.

@augustlan pardon us
@AstroChuck I will go with the eyebrow..:)
