A broscience theory

[youngsufferer]

Since I think we can mostly agree that the balding gene originated in northern Europe and that whole area, and it's mostly white men that are effected(not saying it doesn't happen to other races.)

I don't know how many of you live in those places, but from what I've seen and experienced, the sun doesn't shine too often in England, Scotland, etc. Now here's where I might lose some of you, but since we're no different than animals, we need a constant stream of Vitamin D to remain healthy and functional as men. There are studies linking Vitamin D to healthy androgen levels, as well as nutjobs thinking vitamin D will cure hair loss(admittedly I'm not well versed on this topic) but who's to say that the people in these areas didn't experience some gene mutation because of the need for vitamin d? It certainly makes sense that the sun hits the parts of the scalp that are affected by mpb. It also makes sense that many hunter gatherer tribes today don't experience much mpb and they are usually in more tropical climates, rich in vitamin d. African slaves come over, reproduce with whites in North America, obtain the gene, and wah lah.

Again, this is a theory off the top of my head, but I guess since we already know that the environment can alter genes, it has to hold SOME merit.
