were cavemen limited by the distances they could travel until they invented clothing? the sun must've been brutal on exposed skin for any long migrations
>>18479044Only way to survive in the cold if you don't have clothing is to grow FUR like a furry.
>>18479044yeah it's almost like it doesn't make sense at all
>>18479044The selknam lived in the extreme south and usually wore nothing but skin capesHumanity has always adapted to its environment... homeostasis is pretty cool.
>>18479092That body paint actually protects you from the sun though.
When did cavemen exist again? And when did cavemen culture shift into agricultural society? I assume it wasn't an overnight shift to farming.
>>18479136seems that every caveman ate grains they found in the wild, along with other foods, so it was known for that they could eat them but storing grain would have required pottery I think
>>18479136Neolithic revolution led to agriculture and excess production, thus civilisation.
>>18479044Just a reminder that the Neanderthals never invented the needle, their "clothes" were nothing more than animal hides draped over their shoulders which means to survive in Ice Age Eurasia, Neanderthals would have been very hairy.
>>18479136they didn't, humans were created by God 6000 years ago
>>18479044No, I don't believe so. Many groups lived itinerant lifestyles without making use of clothing that cover the full body. And most of them never lived in caves, they built shelters.>>18479136Paleolithic cave dwellers weren't actually all that common, that's a miconception borne off survivorship bias. They became more common after agri-culture, and at least in some places they became most common in the recent past, not before or after. Of course by then people lived mostly in man-made caves (repurposed mines, quarries, tombs), but caves still.
>>18479044>were cavemen limited by the distances they could travel until they invented clothing?Not as much as you'd think. Pic related is the global range of Homo Erectus, the very first 'ape man', and despite the fact they had only made clothing as sophisticated as skins/hides draped over their body you can still see their range was quite impressive. Clothing however absolutely allowed hominids to expand into practically every environment. >>18479136>When did cavemen exist again?Current census is around 300,000 years ago. >And when did cavemen culture shift into agricultural society?Somewhere between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago, but there's evidence of small-scale gardens dating back 24,000 years ago. It wouldn't be outlandish to assume that we spent eons 'casually gardening', but otherwise being full-time hunters & gatherers, before the end of the ice age forced our ancestors to get full time jobs.
>>18479136never happened, we were created by God
>>18479136More people lived in caves in modern times than the actual neolithic.
>>18479528Yeah except africa is way bigger than depicted in your map
>>18479044The term cavemen is stupid and dumb, truly an innovation of pop culture
