The ability to grow long scalp hair is a distinct human characteristic. It probably originally evolved to aid in cooling the sun-exposed head, although the genetic determinants of long hair are largely unknown. Despite ancestral variations in hair growth, long scalp hair is common to all extant human populations, which suggests its emergence before or concurrently with the emergence of anatomically modern humans (AMHs), approximately 300 000 years ago.

Background: Previous studies with Gfi1-mutated lines have shown that Gfi1 is essential for hair cell maturation and survival.
Results: We analyzed the phenotype of another Gfi1-mutated line Gfi1 in the inner ears of neonates at P5-7 and found that the cochlea phenotypically differed from the vestibule in the Gfi1 mouse. Specifically, there was a marked reduction in hair cells in the cochlea, which was characterized by greater reductions in the outer hair cells but far less reductions (mainly in the basal turn) in the inner hair cells, whereas the vestibular hair cells remained unaffected.
