Part 2/7:
Imagine a world in which early humans faced extreme cold without the means to protect themselves. Our ancestors, ill-equipped with their hairless bodies, relied on their ability to observe and glean knowledge from the natural world around them. The animals they hunted not only provided sustenance but also essential materials such as hides and fur, which allowed humans to cover themselves and adapt to harsh climates.
As the third to last Ice Age loomed, the survival strategies of early humans shifted dramatically. The hunting of animals for both meat and their warm pelts became a critical turning point in the development of early human societies. This transition signified a moment in which clothing transformed from mere necessity into a symbol of identity and status.
