00:00Ice Age Winter, 30 below. His outfit? A loincloth. Humans had to invent clothes fast,
00:06with no sewing machines. Step 1. Scrape the hide with a stone until it's soft.
00:11Frozen leather is just very sad cardboard. Step 2. Cut the shape with a sharp flint flake.
00:19Two body panels, one hood. Simple tailoring. Step 3. Punch holes along the edges with a
00:26pointed bone. Needles came later. This is the prototype. Step 4. Chew a dried tendon until
00:34it's soft, then twist it into strong thread. Yes, really. Step 5. Lace the thread through the holes
00:43and pull tight. Basically prehistoric shoelaces holding a coat together. Add sleeves, stitch on
00:49the hood, pull the last knot. It looks suspiciously like a sack, but it works. Result.
00:56A warm sewn coat. Real bone tools prove people stitched clothes tens of thousands of years
01:01ago. Pants? Later.
