What is “male androgenic hair”? Body hair?

Doesn’t seem fully accurate, Koreans and northern Chinese are definitely more hairy than southeast asians

Is the frequency really this big in Europe? I am from Pakistan and I have a lot of androgenic hair, the funny thing is that my facial hair genes are the worst since I have got weak beard pattern with small patches but it is quite opposite with my body hair lol. I have always wondered why do people in especially West and South Asia have so much body hair compared to other people like Europeans or people from Central, North and East Asia.

Even if we accept that “independent studies” (whatever that means) are a valid source of data, nobody ever conducted a study that could produce this map.
E.g. those horizontal bands across the Sahara are obviously artifacts of the method chosen to produce this map, and not of any data that was collected there.

The Mediterranean has always been a land of alpha males full of testosterone.

Interesting study, thanks for sharing! But what does “frequency” mean exactly?
Does it mean that 50 out of 100 people have hair and the other half don’t, if so, at what age?
Or, does it mean that people generally have 50% of body area covered by hair? If so, how was it calculated?
Or, does it work in a categorical way like they sum up the number of body areas covered?
