Having eyebrows was an evolutionary advantage

[Still Waters]

Highly mobile eyebrows that can be used to express a wide range of subtle emotions may have played a crucial role in human survival, new research from the University of York suggests.

Like the antlers on a stag, a pronounced brow ridge was a permanent signal of dominance and aggression in our early ancestors, which modern humans traded in for a smooth forehead with more visible, hairy eyebrows capable of a greater range of movement.

Mobile eyebrows gave us the communication skills to establish large, social networks; in particular to express more nuanced emotions such as recognition and sympathy, allowing for greater understanding and cooperation between people.

Does that mean people with uni-brows are technically handicapped?

Did you ever think the Renaissance fad of shaving the eyebrows off was not just a "beauty" thing but so people would have a harder time reading your expressions. Like the Bene Gesserit in Dino De Laurentiis's  trainwreck version of Dune?

Botox can freeze eyebrows into one position , usually a shocked position and sometimes it raises only one eyebrow higher than the other creating a quizzical look .
They cant move their eyebrows and it gives them limited expression

Why do you forced this little slice of h#ll onto us?

I always thought the brow (ridge) helped protect the eyes against bumping and also helped keep water from running down the forehead into the eyes obscuring vision.
