Pubic lice are genetically most closely related to the lice that now populate gorillas, indicating that at some point after our ancestors lost most of their fur they were in close contact with gorillas and picked up the second species of lice because it was already better adapted to the coarser hair there than our own species of lice were. Clothing lice are genetically most closely related to human head lice, but became a separate species roughly 80,000 to 170,000 years ago which must be when our ancestors had began experimenting with wearing clothes, which is before modern humans began leaving Africa (roughly 60,000 to 125,000 years ago).Features of the louse mitochondrial genome also tell us how species such as Homo erectus, Neanderthal, and modern humans interacted over time.
