Are clothes really necessary?
So recently I’ve been reading about evolution and stuff. The idea is that if a trait is necessary for survival, we eventually develop it and if something becomes useless, we lose it (like the tailbone).
That got me thinking:
If all humans suddenly decided to stop wearing clothes, would we eventually evolve differently based on where we live?
Like, people in colder regions developing more body hair or fat, and people in hotter regions having less?
In a way, are we limiting our own natural potential by relying on clothes instead of letting our bodies adapt?
Note: I’m not against people wearing clothes at all—just a random thought I found interesting and wanted to discuss.
Edit: For those saying I’m deleting my own comments ''I’m Not''. I have no idea why this is happening. All the comments are still visible to me on Reddit, so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m new on reddit, so I might be missing something.
