Clothing (c. 400,000 B.C.E.)
Early human cover their nakedness.
Around
400,000 years ago, Homo sapiens devised a solution to protect the vulnerable
naked human body from the environment – clothes. Anthropologists believe the
earliest clothing was made from the fur of
hunted animals or leaves creatively wrapped around the body to keep out the
cold, wind & rain.Determining the date of this of this invention is difficult, although
sewing needles made from animal bone dating from about 30,000 B.C.E have been
found by archeologists however genetic analysis of human body lice reveals that
they evolved at the same time as clothing. Scientists originally thought the
lice evolved 107,000 years ago, but further investigations placed their
evolution a few hundred thousand years earlier.
Clothing’s has changed dramatically over the
centuries, although its ancient role as an outward indication of the status,
wealth & beliefs of the wearer is an important as ever; During the
industrial revolution the textile industry was the first to be mechanized, enabling
increasingly elaborate deigns to be made at a
faster rate. In the twenty –first century. Mechanization has allowed sophisticated practical clothing to be devised to protect us from dangers such as extreme
weather, chemicals, insects, & outer space without clothes we would not
have been able to explore & exploit our world & the surrounding
universe to the extent that we have.
