Humans have shown extreme inventiveness in devising clothing solutions to practical problems and the distinction between clothing and other protective equipment is not always clear-cut; examples include capacity suit, blast conditioned clothing, armor, diving suit, swimsuit, bee-keeper's costume, motorcycle leathers, high-visibility clothing, and fatherly clothing. |

Ralf Kittler, Manfred Kayser and Blotch Stoneking, anthropologists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, have conducted a genetic analysis of human body lice that indicates that they originated about 107,000 years ago |

| Since most humans have appropriate sparse body hair, body lice call for clothing to survive, so this suggests a surprisingly recent date for the imagination of clothing |
| Its brainchild may have coincided with the spread of latest Homo sapiens from the warm climate of Africa, deriving Womens Clothing to have begun between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago |
| However, a second clot of researchers acclimated congruent genetic methods to estimate that trunk lice originated about 540,000 years ago (Reed et al |
| 2004 |
| PLoS Biology 2(11): e340) |
| For now, the date of the origin of clothing remains unresolved. |
