The history of nudity involves social attitudes to nakedness of the human body in different cultures in history. The use of clothing to cover the body is one of the changes that mark the end of the Neolithic,and the beginning of civilizations. Nudity has traditionally been the social norm for both men and women in hunter-gatherer cultures in warm climates,and it is still common among many indigenous peoples. The need to cover the body is associated with human migration out of the tropics into climates where clothes were needed as protection from sun,heat,and dust in the Middle East;or from cold and rain in Europe and Asia. The first use of animal skins and cloth may have been as adornment,along with body modification,body painting,and jewelry,invented first for other purposes,such as magic,decoration,cult,or prestige. The skills used in their making were later found to be practical as well.
