What did prehistoric people wear?I
t is not known for sure when humans began wearing clothes but there is evidence that suggest that we may have begun wearing clothing as far back as 100,000 to 500,000 years ago. Archeolo-gists found objects that look like hand-made sewing needles that have been dat-ed to around 40,000 years ago. The first needles that we are sure that are needles belonged to the Solutrean culture which existed in France from 19,000 BC to 15,000 BC. Evidence of dyed flax fibers dates back to 36,000 BC and was found in a prehistoric cave in the Republic of Prehistoric and Ancient Clothing

One of the most famous items of clothing from Ancient Rome is toga—a one-piece woolen garment th
at draped loosely around the shoulders and down the body. There is evidence that toga was worn by all free Romans during the Ro-man monarchy and the Roman Republic, while slaves and children wore tunics. After the 2nd century BC, toga was worn over tunic by men while women wore stola, a long pleated dress similar to the Greek chitons. Girls and boys under the age of puberty wore a toga praetexta. It was special type of toga with a purple band on the lower edge.                          ■子穿的胸衣。男子穿的是克拉
