Abstract
The hides and skins of wild and domesticated animals have always
been treated in some w~ to serve human beings as clothing. Leather
is obtained if the treatment removes the hair and makes the hide or
skin resistant to disintegration and above all to putrefaction in hot
and humid environments. Such treatment is called tanning.
