The Big Question: “Why do we have hair?” Synopsis: In a search to learn about the origins of hair, Harrison finds out about the cultural implications of different hairstyles – from mohawks to baldness. My Great Challenge: Harrison’s guest challengers must identify different types of animals from close-ups of their fur. In the Field: Harrison visits a hairstylist and finds out why our hair turns grey and how amazingly strong it is. He also visits an anthropologist with a big skull collection who explains to him why the gradual loss of our primordial “fur” helped shape us into the type of animal that humans are today.
