> BTW, forgot to mention that there is a profound difference between
sebaceous glands which are at least partially adapted due to aquaticness
(which would be those in some seals, for instance) and those in humans and
other primates as well as most mammals where they are scent producers (a
function they also serve in seals). This is that when due to aquaticness,
they are fully functional at the age when the mammal takes to water, while
in others they aren't fully functional, if at all, until puberty, and the
latter is what we find in humans and other primates. Again, that magic time
puberty, which does a lot more than hint at sexual selection and a function
related to sex -- except for the blind out there (and you know who they are,
even if they don't. :). --JMoore

Inform a bit on follicles in humans: we have terminal, vellus & sebaceous
follicles. Take a handbook of histology or anatomy, and then talk again. Or
else, read my 1987 paper "The aquatic ape theory and some common diseases"
Medical Hypotheses 24:293-299.
