Humans are too plentiful and multicultural to really evolve as a species today.
When we did evolve our lifespans weren't that long at all. My best guess is everyone still had their hair when they found a partner etc. Only today do we live long enough to go bald. Which is more good then bad... especially if we can find a cure.

Yeah, the baldness gene is not normal, or why else would a man have hair in the first place.

But this no children thing is very stupid. There will definitely be a cure for any children to come from a balding man today. I am sure of it. It's a loooong time away. There will be good treatments, which will be much cheaper then.
Seriously.

That's probably what Julius Caesar thought.
I don't want prematurely balding children (it could start as young as 15 - people have always had to live long enough to endure it).
No thanks, no way.

I doubt people always lived long enough to endure it. By the time of Julius Caesar they at least had good societies going. Not like apes.
In the passed generations we evolved from getting a mate prior to the age of 20, thats what I think.
Mostly anyway. Life spans only got much longer in the last few hundred years.
Of course... this all depends on what you believe in.

But in the timescale of human history, the notion that male baldness is unattractive and makes one "psychologically damaged" is a fairly recent phenomenon. (The same could be said of obesity.)
You can't really interpret evolutionary processes solely by the standards of modern society.

But bald men have always been able to get intimate with women.

I think a lack of gender equality adequately explains the past!
