I seriously am having a mental breakdown on homework. My teacher didn't teach us about neolithic clothes and expected us to do a whole project on it and this didn't really help but it was the only actual educational thing on actual neolithic people. I've searched on Google on RUclips but this is as close as it gets thank you.
Teachers don't take into account how much research is behind pay walls and how most parents are working Like 2 jobs each so they don't have time to take their kid to the library. I do not miss school
Probably the first place to look is the people who recently had stone age technology, such as the American Indians. They had fitted and decorated clothing that was sufficiently warm enough for freezing temperatures. Or the Inuit who lived in the coldest part of the world and also had fitted clothing.
Hi, I recently discovered your videos, which are wonderful. I'm fascinated by ancient history and prehistory. Have been for many years. But I never knew that textiles had been around so long. I'd thought probably 10,000 years or less. 🌺
My theory is that the earliest humans looked around at the animals with their spots and stripes, the birds and butterflies with their colors, and then looked down at their own plain skins and said, "We can do better than that." But one thing I learned recently is that early people probably wore furs and hides hair side in rather than skin side in as commonly depicted. Swedish rya rugs were definitely worn with the backing facing outward. The reason is that this provided additional warmth. Fringes were a way of wicking rain off the body. I have also heard that the invention of thread was humankind's most important invention because it enabled the development of fabrics.
I always wondered how they managed to tan the hides to make them supple enough to make clothing. Otherwise, you end up with a very stiff hide that would be difficult to shape and chafe the heck out of you when wearing it. Guess they managed by trial and error.
Very good, thank you. The reason for people covering themselves may be not only to protect their bodies from environmental influences, but also because of modesty and the innate nature of covering oneself, and perhaps this is the main reason. This does not contradict the fact that they covered their bodies with clay and charcoal, for example, to combat environmental influences, as it is possible to combine them, that is, the body is covered with these materials, and in addition to that, clothes are worn. What reinforces this is that we see primitive tribes that live in hot areas not wearing clothes except where the private parts are.
There’s various types of rocks that break really easy but are durable enough that the shards can be used for arrow heads and spear tips. This is also where early stone tools came from. As for the leaves, often they were tied to some twine or folded over one another.
@@Arturo-ur9orif you have played Minecraft then you may recognise that flint was such a rock which was sharp but not very durable. Therefore it was mostly used for arrow heads.
@@Arturo-ur9orlook up stone knapping. That's how they were made, and the leaves or anything else was stitched like today just with primitive materials.
I guess they couldn't buy off the rack. Somebody must have gotten rich by making clothes to trade for necessities back then.🤔🤔🤔 Fashion designers could have lived the life of luxury😃😃😂😂 Rent a cave and start a clothes mfg. business.
There is no mention of any wardrobe in the video. And the cover for the video is just a non-standard opinion of the video author. If you don’t like something, come up with it yourself and show how it should have been done.

She is “qualified union labour”
What grade did you get?
It’s difficult to find books about how people lived and if you do find them they are ridiculously expensive.

I know all about stone age fashion. I watched The Flintstones!

Glad you like them!
You can read about lice and the origin of textiles in this article: www.abc.net.au/news/2003-08-19/lousy-study-shows-clothing-70000-years-old/1466440
There are also bark clothes, widespread from Africa to Asia and Oceania, with almost identical procedures of preparing.
Great graphics
This helps on my homework for my project and I am working on bronze now in school I like Stone Age

When i touch my cat and see how nice it feels this really makes sense.
Imagine a Stone Age fashion runway.
Tapa cloth from tree bark is used today
Amazing to see how the shoelace design basically hasn’t changed in 200,000 years.
Bro explained 25% of stone age in just 5 minutes
I got to do 10 facts and U helped me tysm
When they pulled the skin off the first furry thing they killed they would have had immediate thoughts of using that warm, soft fur for themselves

Don’t underestimate the Neanderthals. They had string, so probably could make other threads too.
Smart unga bunga noises*
Lmao
I'm looking for when our ancestors learned to tan hides.to use for clothing.
bro nice mic
Very good, thank you.

What are your sources?
so tattoos have been around 200 thousand years ago 🎉
I guess back then you had to buy off of the rack !!!
The question would be how we’re those sharp spears made that they had. Secondly how did they make the leaves stick together without falling

@@marsupialmaniac8083 thanks for the answer, interesting how some rocks can fall apart easily yet be incredibly effective for hunting and protection

Perhaps they tied leaves together using braided grasses. Or strips of tree bark.

This is all theory, Nothing survives.

Don't be so ridiculous it's not a wardrobe just pieces of animal skins that was to keep them warm not a wardrobe
