Their not inventing clothing is why Harris thinks they were hairy. Interestingly, we can look at the divergence between pubic and head and clothing lice to know when body hair receded and clothes appeared. I think there might also be distinct bugs that hang out in clothes that scientists also compared, but less sure about that.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.com
