Ian Gilligan et al. claim that during the Ice Age, humans at Yafteh Cave in Southwest Asia made fitted clothing by boring holes in pieces of hide and fur with a sharpened bone tool called an awl and then threading cord through the holes to bind the pieces together. Eventually, as evidenced by artifacts at Ust-Kova in Siberia, someone perforated the end of a bone awl to make an eye (hole) to hold the cord, thereby creating a sewing needle with which both steps could be performed in a single motion. This sped up the process of making clothing and, by freeing them from the need to push cord through holes manually, allowed artisans to make smaller holes and thus finer seams.
