Reply to comment by doomgiver98 in TIL scientists believe people started wearing clothes between 83k and 170k years ago because that's when clothing lice diverged from head lice. by cwood1973
As u/terribleidea27 mentioned, the reason for this wide range is the fact that you can’t see in DNA how old it is, you need to combine all different kinds of data and make educated guesses. You can’t just say there’s x mutations so there’s y times x years divergence between these two lines.
