History of nudity : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of nudity
The history of nudity refers to social attitudes to nudity in different cultures in history. The wearing of clothing at various occasions is common in most human societies. It is not known when humans began wearing clothes. Anthropologists believe that animal skins and vegetation were adapted into coverings as protection from cold, heat and rain, especially as humans migrated to new climates; alternatively, covering may have been invented first for other purposes, such as magic, decoration, cult, or prestige, and later found to be practical as well. However, many cultures have at times dispensed with clothing, at least for some purposes and in some situations, or even at all times. == Paleolithic history ==
Because animal skins and vegetable materials decompose readily there is no archeological evidence of when and how clothing developed. However, recent studies of human lice suggest that clothing may have become commonplace in human society around 72,000 years ago. If that is correct, it would mean that for around 128,000 years and the majority of anatomically modern human history, humans may not have worn clothes. Some anthropologists believe that ''Homo habilis'' and even ''Homo erectus'' may have used animal skins for protection placing the origins of clothing at perhaps a million years or more.
