They probably wore stupid blue and orange UF Gator colors. What a waste of money “study.”

Well....yeah. It got cold and there’s such a thing as shrinkage. Even the cave men got it. :)

, meaning humans spent a considerable amount of time without body hair and without clothing,
I guess this guy didn't get the memo.

We know that the Flintstones wore clothes.

No way in the world to figure that out from lice DNA

My own careful research also confirms these important findings.

Uh, yes - IF it was lice DNA from a member of anyone BUT the Hugh Hefner or Lady Gaga Clan...then it would have been NEGATIVE for clothes...

Can they use DNA to determine when politicians branched off from the rest of the louse genus?

What about the migration of Homo Erectus some 500,000+ years ago? Peking and the South Urals must have been chilly?

[ The study also shows humans started wearing clothes well after they lost body hair, which genetic skin-coloration research pinpoints at about 1 million years ago, meaning humans spent a considerable amount of time without body hair and without clothing, Reed said. ]
More support of the Aquatic Human Origin Hypothesis.

I could not find mention of lice in the pubic hair. Did I miss that important fact?
