Bald men are enjoying a resurgence in appeal and popularity that they probably haven't known since Curly Neal of Harlem Globetrotters fame astounded opponents and audiences with his on-court hi-jinks or Isaac Hayes dazzled the musical world with his soulful sounds. NBA superstars Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls and Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns are two of the trendsetters in the NBA with their clean-cut domes. Many women polled agreed that the shaven scalp not only provides a clean-cut, well-groomed image, it's downright macho, simply sexy to bare it all.

Balding is a marker of sexual maturity in humans and some other primates, and although it appears later than some other changes in post-pubertal hair growth it may still develop early enough to influence mating behavior.

Whether this translates into greater reproductive success is unknown and difficult to verify, but it is perhaps the most likely explanation for the survival of balding genes into modern man.

But out of my mouth came these words: "I've always had a high forehead."
