Nudity
state of wearing no clothing / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nudity (or nakedness) is when a human is not wearing clothing.
Humans evolved to be mostly hairless. All other primates have fur. During prehistoric times, humans continued to be fully naked when it was warm, using animal skins when it was cool. Before clothing, humans decorated their bodies with jewelry, paint, tattoos, and scars. They made belts and bags to carry tools. They made masks and disguises to be less visible while hunting. When they moved out of Africa, people used the same crafts to make things to cover their bodies, not only to protect them from the cold but also from the dust and sun of the desert.
Humans wear decorations and clothes as nonverbal communication. It shows their personality and group membership. In the modern world, there are many rules about nudity. Traditional Jewish, Christian, and Muslim people dress modestly. They are never without clothes in places where other people can see them. This does not include their spouses or family members of the same gender.
Naturists believe being nude is good for health and well-being. [1] Nudity is a normal part of everyday life for sports and play in the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Germany. [2]
