Scientists find evidence of humans making clothes 120,000 years ago

Tools and bones in Moroccan cave could be some of earliest evidence of the hallmark human behaviour

From the medieval fashion for pointy shoes to Victorian waist-squeezing corsets and modern furry onesies, what we wear is a window to our past.

Now researchers say they have found some of the earliest evidence of humans using clothing in a cave in Morocco, with the discovery of bone tools and bones from skinned animals suggesting the practice dates back at least 120,000 years.
