What is the "evolutionary" reason behind men going bald

which is advantageous for people living in a cold climate, but the unfortunate side effect of increased DHT is follicle damage that leads to premature baldness.Premature baldness is therefore a byproduct of an adaptation to a cold climat, but not the desired product of natural selection.-There isnt an evolutionary reason behind everything........

Therefore the evolutionary reason for baldness is not because premature baldness is advantageous, but because increased DHT production increases body hair, which is advantageous for people living in a cold climate, but the unfortunate side effect of increased DHT is follicle damage that leads to premature baldness. Premature baldness is therefore a byproduct of an adaptation to a cold climat, but not the desired product of natural selection.

There isn't an evolutionary reason behind everything... at least not a direct one.

Baldness happens because the hair follicle no longer produces and lengthens hair which is probably mostly due to genetics

... this was just a random thought of mine, but it could have something to do with the length of the poly-A tail of the genome and maybe a certain length in the tail will cause less of a hormone to be produced or something similar. And the length of the poly-A tail can be genetic as well as age related. But don't quote me on that last bit.

depend on too many factors....

hormones ,diet, exposure, gene ,emotions ...etc
