Bald headed civilization foretold by Milwaukee scientist
A Milwaukee based scholar argues that modern comforts and fast living will strip civilized men of hair. He cites lack of exercise and air, rich diets, and quick tempered spouses as factors. He notes savage races show no baldness and predicts a future where baldness is universal, with barber profits plummeting and even athletes using cranial cushions. He estimates about 5000 years until American men are bald.
