Question
why do humans blush?

XRS (C)
Why do we blush? When humans get embarrassed, blood is rushed to the face causing the skin to appear red. What is the explanation for this? (if there is one). There are usually answers for why the human biology is as it is. For instance when we get cold, the hair folicles stand on end, this is to try to keep us warm from when we had long hair all over our bodies. I was just wanting to know if there was a similar explanation for blushing, like how its useful?! Thanks!
