Humans didn't wear pants until horses were domesticated and when we started riding them.

Trousers

"Invented in Asia and subsequently spreading worldwide, the oldest known trousers are found at the Yanghai cemetery in Turpan, Xinjiang, western China, dated to the period between the 13th and the 10th century BC. Made of wool, the trousers had straight legs and wide crotches, and were likely made for horseback riding."

These are the people who probably domesticated the horse and invented pants:

You’d think someone would have invented paints before then just to stay warm.
