Hat-tips go to Alejandro Weinstein for his question, and to Lizzie Foley, for consulting with Guillaume on the answer.

Guillaume also wanted to point out that if armpit hair were not adaptive, then why would Kevin Grennan have included it in this artificial armpit?

We leave you now with this music video, which, if Pop Up Video is to be believed, was referred to by its director as a "celebration of the armpit." Enjoy.
