Answer:
Earliest people doesn't use to wear cotton or woollen clothes because they didn’t have the technology to spin the fibers or the weave the fabric until the Upper Paleolithic, and even then it was very rudimentary.
Cotton was first cultivated and woven in India around 5,000 BC but didn’t reach the Mediterranean area until Alexander the Great’s conquests (flax or linen were more common).
Sheep began being domesticated around 10,000 BC in Mesopotamia but weren’t selected for their wool until a few millennia later. Shears were probably invented in the Iron Age.
