Leather clothing

There can be no doubt that the first clothing - for a long time - was made of animal skins. Why is this glossed over???

It is not certain when people first started wearing clothes however, anthropologists give estimates that range between 100,000 to 500,000 years ago. The first clothes were made from natural elements: animal skin and furs, grasses and leaves, and bones and shells. Clothing was often draped or tied however, simple needles made out of animal bone provide evidence of sewn leather and fur garments from at least 30,000 years ago.

African & Pacific & Americas examples

This article seems fairly lacking in history from these regions. Do the sources used in this article reference these regions by any chance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.171.240.50 (talk) 21:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Illustration of Indian clothing

A thousand years of beautiful native illustrations of Indian clothing available but somehow these Raja Ravi Varma dull-colored, not-illustrative, Western style paintings are being used? Angry bee (talk) 04:58, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
