What role do eyebrows play beyond facial expression?

Quick fact

Eyebrows serve two critical functions: they divert moisture (sweat and rain) away from the eyes, and they are essential for non-verbal communication, expressing emotions like surprise, anger, and curiosity.

Why this is interesting

Eyebrows aren't just for expression—they're your face's rain gutters, channeling sweat and rain away from your eyes so you can see clearly, and they evolved as one of the first forms of human communication.
