This image depicts a Neanderthal man wrapped in fur hides. Neanderthals, who survived from about 200,000 B.C.E. to 30,000 B.C.E., were the first known humans to make clothing. As hunters, furs and hides were the first materials used as clothing, which served a greater purpose of keeping the Neanderthals warm and dry.
