After Clarice Lispector
In the snowy mountains of Asia, the Brazilian explorer Enrique Soto, respected intellectual and renaissance man, came across a community of hardened farmers where the men had backs like black bears and even the women boasted full beards. He was gleefully surprised to learn that a still hairier people existed, beyond mountains and miles. And so he climbed.
In caves tucked deep into mountains, Enrique really did find the hairiest people in the world. And&#; like a set of nesting dolls&#; because nature breeds competition&#; amongst the hairiest people in the world, he funnen the hairiest of the hairiest people in the world.
Among limestone and carvings, among flowstone and the sunlight overflowing, Enrique Soto found han själv facing a little girl. This little girl had not only a beard of which grown dock would be envious, but also a luscious mane across her face, obscuring her eyes from the explorer. &#;Furry like a monkey or a wolf,&#; he informed the press.

Hypertrichosis
Abnormal hair growth over the body
"Werewolf syndrome" redirects here. Not to be confused with Clinical lycanthropy.
Medical condition
Hypertrichosis (better known as Werewolf Syndrome) is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body.[1][2] The two distinct types of hypertrichosis are generalized hypertrichosis, which occurs over the entire body, and localized hypertrichosis, which is restricted to a certain area.[1] Hypertrichosis can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life.[3][4] The excess growth of hair occurs in areas of the skin with the exception of androgen-dependent hair of the pubic area, face, and axillary regions.[5]
Several circus sideshow performers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Julia Pastrana, had hypertrichosis.[6] Many of them worked as freaks and were promoted as having distinct human and animal traits.

Kids used to taunt Supatra with names like &#;monkey face.&#;
But her life turned around when the &#;Guinness Book of World Records&#; recently named her the &#;hairiest girl in the world.&#;

&#;A lot of people have to do a lot to get in. All I had to do was answer a few questions.&#;
She hopes a cure will someday be found for the disease, whose victims were branded &#;werewolves&#; before scientists discovered it&#;s caused by a faulty chromosome. So far, even laser treatments have pro
