What is the purpose of eye brows?

What is the purpose of eyebrows?

I know that eye lashes are to keep the dust out of your eyes... but your eye brows just sit on you face. Are they just for looks? Or do they really have a reason to be there?

And is it bad to plusk/ wax them?

    We're all covered in hair...The eyebrows, along with eyelashes are to protect our very important sense of sight. We need our eyes protected. More and more they become more for fashion and for face framing than anything.
