that the clothes currently existed. Another theory is that modern humans are
the only survivors of different species of primates that can worn clothing and
that clothing can be used, as long as 650,000 years ago. Other estimates based
on sea lice are the introduction of clothes age over 42, 000-75, 000 BP.
Features
In hot climates
clothing provides protection from damage by Sun or wind, while in cold climates
its thermal insulation properties are generally more important. Shelter usually
reduces the functional need for clothing. In the same way, clothing is seasonal
and regional, as well as thinner material aspects and fewer layers of clothing

risks, such as insects, harmful chemicals, weather, weapons and contact with
abrasive substances. Conversely, clothing may protect the environment the

People have shown
extreme inventiveness in the development of solutions of clothing that the
dangers to the environment. Examples: space suits, air conditioned clothing,
armor, diving suits, Swimsuits, bee-keeper gear, leather motorcycle clothing to
high visibility and other pieces of protective clothing. Meanwhile, the
distinction between clothing and equipment protection is not always
clear-clothing designed to fashionable often together with protective value and
clothing designed for the feature often consider fashion in their design. Wear
clothing also has a social impact.
