They didn't have agriculture to make flax, cotton, or linen. They didn't have looms, they didn't have workshops, they didn't know animal husbandry for sheep, but you needed tons of thick and insulated clothing to not die. How?
Are sheep the only animals with fur iyc?
>>222398395Leather/fur from animals.
>>222398395Woolly mammoths. /thread
>>222398395There are these things called wild animals. When you kill them you can take their skin and wear it.
>>222398395That's the secret, Cap' we're always freezing
>>222398632>>222398671You'd need to kill a fuck ton of animals to have enough clothing for a nomadic tribe of ~100 people. More once you consider they're all hunting and gathering 24/7 so their clothes get torn often. Did ancient Timmies really depopulate entire regions just for clothing? Seems unsustainable desu
There used to be megafauna roaming Eurasia so u kill one woolly mammoth the whole tribe gets new fur hats
>>222398735you need to kill a fuck ton of animals for food anyway, the clothing is basically free
>>222398735Eurasia was covered with millions of these things. They didn't have tribes of ~100 people, much smaller.
>>222398735Very ancient tribes were barely 100 people and they most likely repaired and patched their clothes more than we do. And yes, we literally hunted or helped a lot to kill some animals to extinction, so it was not sustainable.
>>222398735Why do you think the north has so low population levels compared to the south? Tribes of 100 people absolutely didn't exist. There isn't enough food or other resources to support such large groups locally in the wild. People literally froze and starved to death while people in your tutorial climates were fucking each other in comfy paradises to make their 13th kid.
>>222398395Have you ever seen reindeer herders?
>>222398735Humans exterminated all of the megafauna.
>>222398787>>222398797>>222398861>today i will make my hairless apes drive my most magnificent creations to extinction so their balls can be warm in the winter. 1000 new beetle species will be replacement enough trololololEvery day my hatred for g*d grows
>>222398937Yes we are filthy apes who contribute nothing to the ecosystem and only destroy native species.
>>222398395They killed mammoths and wolves or equivalent animals and turned their hides into big coats and shit.
>>222398937Many animals make other species extinct. Animals are much more cruel than humans.
>>222398921They didn't really. The megafauna were already on the way out. Humans just expedited the process.
>>222398999absolute kino. vghhhh I wish we could go back. truly we suffer today
>>222398999
>>222399015No man. Check the Australian Megafauna. Some of them beasts ruled the ecosystem for tens of thousands of years but once we homos made it over, they disappeared within a couple of thousand years. And no, we didnt genocide them for the food, but to eleminate competition >>222398395Never seen an eskimo?
>>222399068We do indeed. Imagine the extasy of shooing a big ass mammoth into your makeshift trap with fire and than butchering the thing to death with your feral cave gf. The Neolithic revolution was the first big psyop of the desert devils to enslave us.
>>222398395i feel bad for the first eurasian who had to hunt while naked
>>222398735>Did ancient Timmies really depopulate entire regionshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Pleistocene_extinctions
>>222398999It's honestly kind of grim that we live in a world where you have to kill other creatures to eat their flesh and wear their skins to survive.
>>222399499it would be grim if the flesh tasted bad
>>222399499Not a fan of the Lion King I'd assume?
>>222399282Megafauna dying and humans spreading had the same cause. What you're seeing is correlation, not causation. They had ruled the ecosystems for tens of thousands of years because they had evolved in those ecosystems. The problem was that the ecosystems were changing and they were no longer perfect for megafauna which is why they started slowly dying off and being replaced by smaller animals everywhere on the planet. Humans hunting them just sped up their extinction.
>>222402612Your point is of course valid, but Homo sapiens coordinated hunting, use of tools and fire also just created the next level Apax predator who started to dominate the eco system. Monkeys and ants wage coordinated wars against dangerous competition and so do humans. Think about how we systematically hunted down wolfs and bears everywhere we started to settle. Of course humans didnt hunt megalodon down to extinction but you see the point
