Question

At what point in the evolution of humankind did man realize he was naked?

Answer 1

Probably when he realized it was really cold. Or when he got tired of Sunburns, seriously.

Answer 2

It was when somebody influential realized it. Humans were probably not naked all the time, even in the start. They have always had to keep warm in the winter.

Answer 3

When woman said, "For goodness sakes, put something on!!" :-)

Answer 4

It wasn't that he realized that he was naked and was embarrassed/ashamed. He just got cold and the simple solution to that problem is to wear clothing.

Answer 7

in the beginning....if you are christian..in genesis..

if not...probably the first time he woke up shaking from the cold....

Answer 8

evolution never occurred, and mankind realized he was naked when his eyes were opened when he ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Read Genesis 3

Answer 9

Well early on in evolution, cloths that were use to cover the body were probably used more to keep warm in the the dropping temperature more than modesty. Maybe when humankind began to become more knowledgeable did they begin to feel modest and ashamed at their naked bodies and wore clothes to cover themselves up.

Answer 10

When he was barbecuing a mammoth steak and hot fat splashed onto his d**k.

Answer 11

When will you come to realize that evolution is a fairytale? Read Genises in the Bible if you want the answer.

Answer 12

Possibly when mankind lost the body hair and fur, and became hairless. Then mankind required artificial fur to stay warm. Some animals have gone thru genetic changes and lost fur, but few rarely survive that change. Why mankind did is a mystery.

Although, it has been reported in scientific studies that some so-called Wild Children, those who grew up with no parents in a wilderness, often ran around naked, and seemed to have no problem dealing with the cold. It seems their bodies could regulate heat output to a degree that civilized people couldn't match, their outer skin temps were actually warmer, and they were not bothered by cold winds. So there may be some internal heat mechanism the human body can turn on, but we have lost the "secret" due to non-use, or it must be used during childhood to turn it on. Either way, a fascinating discussion.
