The Dawn of Clothing: Ancestor’s Adoption 170,000 Years Ago
Ever pondered when our ancestors made the fashionable leap into clothing? According to scholars at the University of Florida, it happened around 170,000 years ago—a hefty 70,000 years before they ventured into chilly terrains.
What’s truly intriguing is that evidence hints at humans adopting attire long after shedding their body hair, a milestone estimated to have occurred over 1 million years ago. This suggests a rather naked truth: our ancestors endured a substantial period au naturel, sans both hair and clothing.
