It is something of a misnomer, this term I use to refer to my study subject: hairless talls. Still it is only a referent. I will endeaver to be accurate in all other aspects.

They are of course, not strictly hairless. They have hair in the same sense a whale does. Compared to me, the subject’s face *is* shockingly bare. Some subjects outside my sample group even have a great deal of it. <\/p>\n
