> Study Uses Lice DNA to Find When Clothing First Appeared<br>

> In a creative use of insect genetics to solve an enduring mystery <br>
of human<br>

<br>
early humans<br>

> The new work -- based on subtle genetic differences between human <br>
body lice,<br>

which do<br>
> not -- suggests that early humans may have lived in Europe for tens
<br>
of<br>

<br>
of clothes.<br>
> <br>
> Among the work's controversial implications: Early humans such as<br>

<br>
years ago<br>
> and who are typically depicted as hairless and clad in furs -- may
<br>
in fact have<br>

> <br>
> "If you look at how Neanderthals are routinely depicted in books <br>
and museums,<br>

against cold<br>

Institute for<br>

ask, 'What's the<br>

they had<br>
