In September 2021, scientists reported evidence of clothes being made 120,000 years ago based on findings in deposits in Morocco, a country in the northwestern part of Africa. Other louse-based estimates put the introduction of clothing at around 44,000–74,000 years ago. This suggests that clothing existed at that time. The body louse lives in clothing, and diverged from head lice about 107,000 years ago. Some estimates come from studying the biology of lice. One of the earliest that has been found is a cloak made of the fur of squirrels, from a cave in Italy, dated to 23.000 years ago.
