...Because I Love Icky Stuff

The lice will tell everything to those who just listen.

From Newsweek
We humans began wearing furs some 114,000 years ago. How do we know? Because, that is when body lice evolved. Body lice, a uniquely human pest, live in clothing. Comparing the DNA of head lice to body lice shows when body lice first appeared, hence when clothing first appeared. Ain't icky science fun?
