Hair: A Human History

This book offers a microhistory of hair including its biological, cultural, and evolutionary aspects as a ubiquitous yet fascinating fiber. Even though we take it for granted, this book shows how hair- human and animal- has functioned in history, economics, and more to reveal the impact hair has had on life. Captivating exampes and deeply researched material combine in this accessible history of how one fibre has tangled up so much of our history.
