| I am curious. Was it dietary that most native americans could not grow a beard? I have always been curious about that. But as that is greek to me (genetics and all), I have never heard why. |
No, just genetic makeup. The native Americans were originally descended from Asians, who are not known for heavy beard growth. It's not true that no Native Americans had beard growth, as some did. It just wasn't nearly as heavy as European's and those who did have any growth would usually shave it off as it was considered an undesirable aberration.
