Why Did Humans Start Wearing Clothes?

Why Did Humans Really Start Wearing Clothes? Long before modern fashion, our ancestors began covering their nearly hairless bodies with animal hides, fibers, and eventually carefully stitched garments. But clothing may have started as more than protection from freezing weather. It could have defended humans from thorns, insects, sun, and injuries — while also becoming one of the earliest ways to show identity, status, and belonging. In this video, discover how lice helped scientists estimate when humans began wearing clothes, how bone needles transformed simple hides into fitted garments, and why clothing became a powerful survival technology that helped humans spread into some of the coldest environments on Earth.
