Humanity started in Africa, which is quite hot. Humans wanted to run. Running makes you sweat. A mutation caused humans to lose fur so that they could have more sweat glands. Sweat helps cool us down so that we don't overheat when running. Natural selection made sure that only the best runners survived - those with too much fur couldn't run as efficiently as don't who weren't so furry. These survivors with less fur passed on their genes to their offspring. Their offspring learnt how to hunt. Their offspring migrated to colder continents over time. Their offsrping became cold during winter. Their offsrping learnt that the fur of other animals can keep them warm during winter.

It doesn't matter which way you try and slice it, human, evolution is real whether you like it or not. F***er.

I wonder if this question gets requested in Russia, primarily Siberia where the guys wear those fur hats to maintain their heads heat? Actual fur, wool, fleece are very warm. I am sitting on a fleece that was once a present from a Moroccan, it is only the correct measurement for pc chair and helps maintain me hotter within the iciness. Many individuals use them there when they need extra heat on there sofas, beds, etc. Except all that, i don't see the ought to wear a fur coat, chiefly one produced from a lot of tiny little animals, so i might by no means buy one only for a status image. And i acquired my stomach became watching a tv exhibit the place puppies are raised for their fur (and meat) in China, the German Shepherd was once licking the person's hand as he was once bleeding the dog to dying. One of the vital garments that had been imported right here had canine-fur on the hoods and other areas unbeknownst to many americans unless that software aired.

I am only guessing, but I imagine that we started using animal fur for warmth when it was really cold, so our own fur became unnecessary, and then we lost it, since it was actually better not to have it when it was too warm.

Environmental pressures.

Killing animals for their fur was only necessary when humans migrated out of their African habitat. Having animal furs to keep warm was what prevented humans to be selected for growing their own again, but I bet humans living in cold climates are hairier than hot climate humans anyway.

Look at those African tribes untouched by civilization. Do they need furs to stay warm, or are they just fine with going around naked?

We lost our fur due to lice infestations and sexual selection against them

We killed animals to stay warm because we migrated away from our warm place of evolution
