I have always wondered how people kept a healthy hygene long ago. I mean a really long time ago.
1. How did people clip their nails? 2. How did people brush teeth? 3. How did people cut hair?
Or maybe, back then, people didn't do any of these things; maybe they just let everything grow.
What do you think?

Mankind has used all kinds of implements throughout the ages to cut hair, brush teeth, etc. To call it hygene though is a misnomer. Disease and infections were often the cause of ugly deaths. An eon from now, whover's around will be talking similarly about our hygene I imagine.
