Going Commando

Taken from Smithsonian Magazine:
Did Native Americans wear undergarments before contact with Europeans?

Not really – but then neither did Europeans wear underwear before contact with Native Americans. American Indian men and women wore loin – or breech cloths, which might be considered under garments or outer garments, depending on climate and tribal lifestyle. But what we deem “going commando” today was more the norm until the 18th century – among native peoples and Europeans. 

My side: life is so much better without underwear, especially in the south.

 
The Europeans always thought they were superior to the American Indians because they had more technology.  When Europeans (my ancestors and yours too) first came to America and encountered Indians, the Indians found them rather revolting. Most Indians bathed regularly, but Europeans seldom bathed and stunk to high heaven. But the most disgusting habit the Europeans had was to take out a cloth handkerchief, blow their nose in it, and then put it back into their pocket, multiple times. That really grossed them out. So who is to say which side is more advanced?
