Humans have sweat and we all know how that provides cooling along with the remaining vellus hairs acting as wicks.

So how do are nearesthominids, our close relatives (some of which are more massive than humans) regular their body temperature, given that they are completely covered in fur like typical mammals?


I’m specifically interested in how a human who had an atavism that’s like generalized hypertrichosis terminalis would fare and get by.

in my story, it’s due to a repaired chromosome 17 that didn’t turn out the way that was intended.
