Add section on hearing
It's crazy that there isn't even a link to hair cells or any discussion of hair's role in hearing. Dgisser (talk) 05:10, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Fia hairtype system
"Fia" isn't an acronym, it's the user ID of Annsofie Henriksen (sp?) at Long Hair Community, and should not be written in all caps. phma (talk) 10:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- @PierreAbbat: Interesting that you mentioned that; I recently discovered the existence of the hair type system you are referring to, and am almost surprised Wikipedia does not have more information about it. In fact, I looked around the internet for a bit, and could not find any information about either an official website about the subject or reliable information about the subject's origin. Apparently, you are the best source thus far I could find which may know where to find such information. Do you have a lead regarding a web source where the subject could be verified? (Honestly, the subject may be notable enough for its own article; at the present time, all I could do was create a redirect that targets the respective section on this article.)

Hair in Permian coprolites
Hair § Evolution currently gives a range of 299 to 220 million years ago for the first hair. Evolution of mammals § Theriodonts currently says:
Numerous Changhsingian coprolites that possibly belong to therocephalians and indeterminate basal archosaurs (proterosuchids) contain elongated hollow structures that could be remains of hair. That means therapsids were covered in hair as early as 252 million years ago.[1]
Similarly, Dicynodontia § Endothermy and soft tissue anatomy says:
the discovery of hair remnants in Permian coprolites possibly vindicates the status of dicynodonts as endothermic animals. As these coprolites come from carnivorous species and digested dicynodont bones are abundant, it has been suggested that at least some of these hair remnants come from dicynodont prey.[2] A new study using chemical analysis seemed to suggest that cynodonts and dicynodonts both developed warm blood independently before the Permian extinction.[3]

These claims are all summarized using tentative language, but I thought it is worth mentioning here for potential improvement to this article. Daask (talk) 16:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
