Significance of having goosebumps? What help does goosebumps do to us? I don't think it helps us noticeably when we are scared or shivering.

As a general rule, you might want to check wikipedia before posting here. On the other hand, I am glad you made me look the answer up.


Goose-bumps warm you up a little. "During the formation of goose bumps, the body is warmed from the muscle tension in piloerection."

There are other reasons, which do not directly serve humans, but may be a remnant from evolution. In animals with fur, the erected hair makes thicker insulation and further protection from cold. "Goose bumps can also be a response to anger or fear: the erect hairs make the animal appear larger, in order to intimidate enemies."
