The use of animal fur in clothing dates to prehistoric times.jerseys It is currently associated in developed countries with expensive, designer clothing, although fur is still used by indigenous people in arctic zones and higher elevations for its warmth and protection. Once uncontroversial,
it has recently been the focus of campaigns on the grounds that campaigners consider it cruel and unnecessary.ed hardy shirt PETA, along with other animal rights and animal liberation groups have called attention to fur farming and other practices they consider cruel.
Scientists are still debating when people started wearing clothes. Ralf Kittler, Manfred Kayser and Mark Stoneking, anthropologists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology,rolex watches replica have conducted a genetic analysis of human body lice that suggests clothing originated quite recently, around 107,000 years ago. Body lice is an indicator of clothes-wearing, since most humans have sparse body hair, and lice thus require human clothing to survive.
Their research suggests the invention of clothing may have coincided with the northward migration of modern Homo sapiens away from the warm climate of Africa, thought to have begun between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. However,cheap cartier watches a second group of researchers using similar genetic methods estimate that clothing originated around 540,ed hardy shirt,000 years ago (Reed et al. 2004. PLoS Biology 2(11): e340). For now, the date of the origin of clothing remains unresolved.
