I didn’t read th article but from what I understand the need for cover comes from the time we are infants, where swaddling and being covered feels secure and comforting. I think the need for a cover is carried all the way through adulthood as an ingrained means of protection of outside elements.

Perhaps you should have read the article: > If you Google around for this question, you’ll end up with a bunch of theories about blankets simulating the warm, enclosed feeling we had in the womb. There could be some element of theoretical protection or security imbued by the blanket, which might be another bit of conditioning, but Hoagland thinks the womb comparison is pretty unlikely. “I’m very suspicious of anyone who implies that this goes back to the feeling of being in the womb,” she says. “I think that’s very far-fetched.”

  “I think that’s very far-fetched.” She thinks wrong. I don't see why her unsubstantiated opinion is different than anyone elses.
