we lose most of the heat in our body's from our heads this is for two reasons the brain uses a lot of energy and heat rises. I'm not sure why we have less hair than apes but I think it has to do with early humans developing clothes so they did not need the hair to keep warm.
as far as pubic hair goes that serves a social function showing that we are sexually mature and not children.
also the hair on our armpits makes for less friction when we swing our arms. a interesting fact is that the more hair a ape has compared with other apes in his tribe the more dominant he is, hair, lots of hair is a sign of dominants
