When did humans first start wearing clothes?

It is believed that humans began wearing clothes around 100,000 to 500,000 years ago.

As early humans migrated to colder regions, they needed clothing for warmth and protection against the elements.

The first clothes were probably made from animal skins, which provided warmth and protection.

Genetic studies of body lice suggest humans started wearing clothes around 170,000 years ago, as lice adapted to living in clothing.

Clothing allowed humans to survive in diverse and harsh environments.

Over time, humans developed techniques to weave other materials into cloth, leading to more varied clothing.
