History of Leather
The primitive man, even more than 7000 years ago, made and used leather goods. He dried fresh skins in the sun, softened them by pounding in animal fats and brains, and preserved them by salting and smoking. Of course, the products were crude, made for protection than as fashion.
The Egyptians and Hebrews developed around 400 BC, the process of vegetable tanning that involved simple drying and curing techniques
Under the Arabs during the middle Ages, the art of leather making became quite sophisticated. Morocco and cordovan leathers were in great demand.
The ancient puppet theatre in the southern India used primarily leather dolls. The tradition continues even today.
Following the industrial revolution in Europe, power driven machines were introduced to perform operations such as splitting, fleshing, and dehairing. The chemical tannage were introduced towards the end of 19th century

 cattle, including calf and ox

 goat and kid
 equine animals, including horse, mule, and zebra
 buffalo
