What is the evolutionary reason?
I mean if it is due to hot climate, then why dont average Africans have as much hair?

Are you going to show some study of Body Hair Index or is your word as infallible on the matter?
Really, Anethema needs some rules about making new threads that are just assertions without any form of evidence.

Then you haven't seem the Germanic ones . Or well some.
Do you have a lot of experience with hairy Middle Eastern and Indian Men?
...
Actually, it's probably due more to just a fleeting impression than an actual attribute. Even if it turns out to be true, there's really nothing there to be selected for. (That I can think of.) So, I'd just chalk it up to one of those little tagalong traits that happens to get passed down.
I don't have a lot of experience with Hairy Middle Eastern Men, Hairy Indians or relatively Hairless African Men so, I can't really tell if the question is even valid.
There are a lot of hairy ppl everywhere...
In Grade 11 one of my Indian friends had a full beard. We were 15/16 then, and even now a few years later I'm still waiting for something more substantial than a half-beard to cover my face...
I have noticed that southern Europeans and Middle Easterners are much hairier than northern Europeans, it seems the further north you go the less hairy people are.(that is inside Europe...I know Asians, Native Americans etc. have almost no body hair at all)

Some Indians are hairy, some aren't. Some people are, some aren't. I don't see any particular group that is more hairy than another. Whites have some of the most hairy people though, they look almost hypertricosian, and they frequent swimming pool changing rooms. They like to walk around naked, which isn't quite as bad as it sounds because the hair covers everything up.
A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.
A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."
The evolutionary question isn't why are some people hairy, the question is why are some people not hairy.

My shameful truth.
Aren't Mediterranean people the hairiest? On the other hand you have Slavic people which are close to hairless; my theory is that since they migrated from Asia thousands of years ago they also brought the "hairless" DNA which is prevalent in Asian people.
[ Under Patronage of Jom ][ "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21 ]
So then I guess why do Asians have less hair? Is it due to lower testosterone level? If yes when why do Asians have lower testosterone? Is it because they are the descendants of African 'wusses' who got kicked out due to inability to physically compete and migrated to East?
Or did I already answer all my own questions? LOL

Northern European and East asians seems to be less hariy according to me
hair
well one of the most accepted theorys of why humans are not hairy, blames early human gatherings. As a human pack grows, it is easier for parasites as ticks to be transmited, thus less hairy humans hwo had less ticks and thus less chances pf contracting illneses survived.
the op question seems rather subjective.
