Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first humans to live in Georgia were hunters who made tools and wore pendants. They were also efficient weavers, and they created fibers from plants. This undercuts long-held assumptions about our early ancestors and gives us a fuller, richer picture of their lives.

#2 The Dzudzuana cave contains the oldest traces of fiber arts in the world, dating from 32,000 years ago. The cave’s inhabitants were skilled at spinning and weaving bast fibers, which they used to make thread to sew together animal hides for clothing.

#3 Clothing is thought by anthropologists to serve two important functions in human society. The first is display. But humans are capable of visually distinguishing themselves without clothes, using everything from tattoos, to jewellery, to body piercings and adaptations.

#4 Clothing was one of the many skills that humans needed to thrive in diverse regions. From the Bast to the Worsted, humans saw the advantages of woven fabric, and began creating it.
