NewScientist The Last Word

Why do most men lose hair from their foreheads first? I've seen many old men who have a bald head with a ring of hair around it. Any particular reason why most people lose their hairs starting from the forehead, making it's way to the centre of their heads?

I would argue that a hairline receding from the forehead is more common. I have nothing but my own observations to back this up. Over to you.....
