The discovery of clothing in the history of human civilization is undoubtedly a unique achievement. When the primordial caveman learned to actually understand the need to shy away from themselves, we can assume that the very beginning of the day started the implementation of that necessity. Today's civilized people and the primordial people created this sky-space difference between modern clothing. Textile is the second requirement for our five basic needs. Understand, how important is the garment costume for human civilization.
Based on the findings of archaeologists, a number of theories are available. Based on the study of genetic skin-coloration, it is known that about one million years ago people started losing their body unnecessary hair. And from the very beginning, they started wearing their clothes.
Scientists observed that clothing lice are, well, extremely well-adapted to clothing. They hypothesized that body lice must have evolved to live in clothing, which meant that they weren’t around before humans started wearing clothes. The study used DNA sequencing of lice to calculate when clothing lice started to genetically split from head lice.
The findings of the study are significant because they show that clothes appeared some 70,000 years before humans started to migrate north from Africa into cooler climates. The invention of clothing was probably one factor that made migration possible.
This timing also makes sense due to known climate factors in that era. As Ian Gilligan, a lecturer at the Australian National University, said that the study gave “an unexpectedly early date for clothing, much earlier than the earliest solid archaeological evidence, but it makes sense. It means modern humans probably started wearing clothes on a regular basis to keep warm when they were first exposed to Ice Age conditions.”
