Garments,fabrics, or other coverings worn by humans over their bodies
The materials that eary humans used to create the first do thing were probaby those the yfoundaround them, such as plable gases, plant leaves, and animal skins.Because these materials decomposes easly it is dificult to determine when humans frs created clothing.Researches studying human ice have suggested that dothing could have become widespread as early as 650000 years ago, while other studies suggest an origin of about 17000 years ago.These time periods corespond to either the beginning or the end of an ice Age indicating that clothing may have first developed as a way of coping with colder climates.

The first items of clothing were most probably fairly crude in their construction, draped around the body and tied with sinew.The development of the needle
around 35000 years ago by Homo sapiens alowed the creation of more complex clothing- garments that could be layered and tailored to fit certain parts of the body, I has been hypothesized that this technology mayhave been what enabled Homosapiens to flourish as a species over the Neanderthals, who were more adapted to the cold biologicaly and thus did not have the impetus to refine the cutting and sewing techniques that were needed for warmer clothes Athough clothing may have been created out of necesty initialy, it has since become farmore than a means of adaptation to the environment.Throughout history it has been used to protect a weare from the elements, but also as a way to convey nonverbal information, such as signaling differences in wealth class,sex or membership of a particular group.
