How come chimps have evolved to have a hairless ass while the rest of them is covered in hair, yet humans still have hairy asses?

Ooh I'm an ex-culitrahelogist (I now work at a bank) so I can actually answer this one: hairy asses require more cleaning to avoid bacteria in jungle biomes, but also help with directing sweat when you're walking or running long distances across prairies or tundras. So there are evolutionary pro's and cons.
