Ok i dont believe in it but the theory is just hillarious
"There has not been a good explanation that I’ve heard for this permanent rim. There was an interesting book I recall titled Sex, Time and Power: How Women’s Sexuality Shaped Human Evolution by Leonard Shlain, who had proposed a connection that might explain male patterned balding. He postulates that man’s history really goes back to tribal living when we had 150 people in a tribe (no large civilization existed at that time). He noted that 7% of men had extreme balding, and the same number of men were left-handed, color blind, and gay. He postulated that in the days when men hunted, there were left-handed spear tossers, men who could see through the camouflage of animals (color blind), men whose heads would go above the bush to spot game animals would not frighten the animals (animals knew to run from men and balding men did not look like men to these animals). The same number of men had to stay ‘back at the camp’ and protect the women (gay men). Not a bad guess, eh?"
