Hair Differentiation
The amount and distribution of body hair differs between the sexes. Males have more terminal hair, especially on the face, chest, abdomen and back, and females have more vellus hair, which is less visible. This may also be linked to neoteny in humans, as vellus hair is a juvenile characteristic.

“O Time and Change!—with hair as gray
As was my sire’s that winter day,

Of life and love, to still live on!”
