Sewing technology is something that preserves quite well in the fossil record though. Maybe some Neanderthal group somewhere had a needle, but we really don’t have any evidence for any sort of widespread use of that tech, as we later find in Homo Sapiens sites.

Sure, maybe they just did something else. I think people have proposed them having used birch tar as an adhesive that could be used to craft clothing.

Or, maybe, you know, they didn’t need to do that in the first place.
