AMERICAN LIFE IN THE 80s

Americans enjoyed many fundamental changes in their standard of living in the 1980s. One major
transformation was the new, expanded role of television. CABLE TELEVISION, although available in the
1970s, became standard for most American households. This change ushered in a whole host of new
programming. Sports-minded Americans could watch the ESPN network 24 hours a day. NICKELODEON
catered to the children of the baby boomers with youth-centered daily programming, and to the boomers
themselves by broadcasting reruns of classic sitcoms at night. Americans could catch up with the news at any
time by watching CNN. The VIDEOCASSETTE RECORDER (VCR) allowed Americans to record television
shows and watch them according to their own schedule and view feature films in the privacy of their own
homes.

HISTORY OF CLOTHING

According to archaeologists and anthropologists, the earliest clothing likely consisted of fur, leather,
leaves, or grass that were draped, wrapped, or tied around the body. Knowledge of such clothing
remains inferential, since clothing materials deteriorate quickly compared to stone, bone, shell and
metal artifacts. Archeologists have identified very early sewing needles of bone and ivory from about
30,000 BC, found near Kostenki, Russia in 1988. Dyed flax fibers that could have been used in
clothing have been found in a prehistoric cave in the Republic of Georgia that date back to 36,000
BC.

Scientists are still debating when people started wearing clothes. Ralf Kittler, Manfred Kayser and
Mark Stoneking, anthropologists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, have
conducted a genetic analysis of human body lice that suggests clothing originated quite recently,
around 170,000 years ago. Body lice is an indicator of clothes-wearing, since most humans have
sparse body hair, and lice thus require human clothing to survive. Their research suggests the
invention of clothing may have coincided with the northward migration of modern Homo sapiens away
from the warm climate of Africa, thought to have begun between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago.
However, a second group of researchers using similar genetic methods estimate that clothing
originated around 540,000 years ago. For now, the date of the origin of clothing remains unresolved.
