Clothing Is Older Than Farming, Cities, and Writing

Humans have been wearing clothes for over 100,000 years — long before farming, cities, or writing ever existed. Here's the strange, buried evidence that proves it. For most of human history, there was no fabric, no fur, no natural protection at all. So how did a naked, exposed species end up surviving every climate on Earth? In this video, we dig through genetic evidence, ancient bone tools discovered on the coast of Morocco, and the biological trade-off that left humans without fur in the first place — piecing together one of the oldest and most overlooked inventions in human history: clothing. You'll learn why body hair loss forced early humans to find a replacement, what 90,000-year-old scraping tools reveal about the first animal-hide garments, and how something as basic as getting dressed eventually became a way to show identity, status, and belonging.
