Human body lice reveal the birthdate of fashion
Humans only started wearing clothes as little as 40,000 years ago,
according to a new genetic study which has calculated when the human
body louse evolved - a creature which needs clothes to lay its eggs
on.

The drawn conclusion is very similar to logic,
except it's backwards.
If lice evolved in clothes and lice evolved 40 to 70 Kya
then that establishes a minimum age for clothing,
not a maximum age.
