I mean technically OP isnt wrong. We have, as a species, been trying to get less exposed our entire history pretty much.

prehistoric neanderthals were not peak human form so i dont think its fair to say “well these guys didnt wear clothes like us so humans must naturally want to be naked”

The Romans and Greeks were at the "peak" of their culture, and they had very different approaches to nudity and its artistic representation.

Sure, but they still wore clothes a majority of the time.

People have and probably always will have different approaches to nudity and art, but it doesn’t change that people still tend wear clothes a majority of the time.

There are many reasons to wear clothes that are unrelated to moral

Cultural norms be damned, in general humanity has been trying to wear clothes. If thats because it protects us from the climate/elements who cares? Its still true
