Development of Weaving and Textiles

During the Neolithic period, around 10,000 to 3,000 BCE, humans transitioned from nomadic lifestyles to settled farming communities. This shift allowed for the domestication of plants and animals, providing fibers like flax and wool for textiles. Weaving techniques developed as people created tools like looms, enabling the production of fabrics for clothing and shelter. The artistry of textiles also flourished, with patterns and dyes reflecting cultural identities. This innovation not only improved daily life but also facilitated trade and social organization, marking a significant advancement in human civilization.
