Interestingly early humsns had bigger (about 13% bigger) brains than modern humans. That's evolution for ya

OK ... I'll rephrase it to Brain Power

Yeah, bigger is not the same as better in all cases.

Probably. I would say imagination is mankind's most profoundly effective trait.

What made early man start imagining -- that he's nude ?

To this day -- why any animal failed to do so ?

An animal did - human beings (and possibly some other hominid species). Other animals developed in different ways.

Colder weather, especially since there can be a serious problem with "shrinkage".

That is probably one answer.
Genitals seem to be an area that is favoured when it comes to clothes. Maybe they feel the cold more.
But I have not a really big experience in warm climates and cultures before the introduction of Western customs.

I remember seeing a documentary of an ancient tribe in Africa that still thrived. This tribe was largely without Western interference.
In the tribe the men wore very large tusks or other such garments on their…..Umm privates. And actually very little else. The documentary acknowledged that without such tusks the men were embarrassed and felt naked.
It was….interesting to say the least

Why think this could be a motivation or the main one, when moving to colder latitudes is more likely a sufficient reason.

The early man wearing clothes were likely made by men and women, as far as we can tell from archaeological records.
