    Nah. We lost fur hundreds of thousands of years ago and never needed it again to survive several ice ages. So I’d say we’ve definitely evolved past fur thanks to the ‘advanced’ tool usage of… clothing.

      Hundreds of thousands of years is not much time in evolutionary terms and my point is the shape of our bodies has not really caught up with our loss of hair and particularly in age we can still look a little unaesthetic. We look exactly like what we are, an animal that is supposed to have fur that has been shorn.
