anthropologists, the earliest clothing probably consisted of fur, leather,
leaves or grass, draped, wrapped or tied about the body for protection
frorn the elements. Knowledge of such clothing remains inferential, since

and metal artifacts. Archeologists have identified very early sewing
needles of bone and ivory from about 30,000 BC, found near Kostenki,
Russia, in 1988.

It is an old saying that
"Order is Heaven's First Law", and like many other old sayings,
it contains a much deeper philosophy than appears immediately on the
surface. Getting things into a better order is the great secret of
progress, and we are now able to fly through the air (1), not because the
laws of Nature have altered, but because we have learnt to arrange things
in the right order to produce this result - the things themselves had
existed from the beginning of the world, but what was wanting was the introduction of
a Personal Factor which, by an intelligent perception of the possibilities
contained
in the laws of Nature, should be
able to bring into working reality ideas which previous generations would
have laughed at as the absurd fancies of an unbalanced mind. (...)
Now the first thing in any
investigation is to have some idea of what you are looking for, just as
you would not go up a tree to find fish, though you would for birds'
eggs.
