The
story of leather is colorful and interesting. Through archeological
findings, we discovered that early men used the skins of hunted
animals for food as well as clothing. Migrants' tribes made shelters
from the hides of larger animals. As civilization has advanced and
developed The hides and skins of animals became the main source of
leather. The skins of large animals such as cattle and horses are
referred to as hides. Those of smaller animals such as sheep, goats
and calves are called skins.
