I’ve spun this discussion into a [separate thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-counts-as-clothing/1017054) as I think it is a possibly interesting discussion but not really on point to continue here. To the point of this thread is @thorny_locust’s point: whether or not protection from the elements is needed, how long until some clothing was created to cover whatever area of the body got designated as not for public viewing, or (and include decoration or markings here) to designate social status within the group? Is that fairly hardwired in some manner, the exact manner being culturally determined. > [@Babale](#): > > The very first generation for tool use in general.

I think the concept of building new tools using other tools would a while for the Euraka moment. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cloned-humans-raised-without-parents-they-grow-to-do/1016921)._
