To wear is human: a brief debriefing of why people wear clothes.

According to the Book of Genesis,  during the prelapsarian time, the first male and female, namely Adam and Eve, were “naked and not ashamed”. This suggests that both Adam and Eve were in an established state of primeval innocence prior to their departure to a state of guilt and knowledge or the so-called “Fall of Man”. When they disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they immediately felt ashamed and realized that they were naked. Upon knowing that they were not clothed, they soon sewed fig leaves together so as to cover themselves.
