The emotion experienced at the tipping point between not shaving and growing a beard. This angst is most commonly bought on by the dread of knowing that the time spent maintaining said beard will eventually exceed the time commonly spent shaving. Beard-angst is often exacerbated by 'Beard Envy'.

Greenbeard altruism is a fascinating concept in evolutionary biology that attempts to explain the evolution of altruistic behavior. It proposes that a single gene (or a set of tightly linked genes) can be responsible for three distinct traits: a noticeable signal or "tag" (like a green beard), recognition of that signal in others, and altruistic behavior directed towards those with the same signal. This allows individuals to selectively cooperate with others who share the same gene, even if they are not related. 1 While the "green beard" example is hypothetical, there are real-world examples of this phenomenon in various organisms, highlighting the potential for cooperation to arise through mechanisms beyond kin selection.
Green beard altruism, while theoretically possible, is rarely observed in nature due to the complex requirements of a single gene controlling the signal, recognition, and altruistic behavior.
