Since people are still trying to 'thread the needle' over the Mueller investigation, I thought it might be fun to see how needles are made.

Sewing needles are among the oldest human artifacts that have been found.  The oldest (so far) needle was found in Siberia’s Denisova Cave and dates to 50,000 years ago.  The archaeological record suggests that our human ancestors had invented sewing needles long before they invented the wheel.   

The form and function of sewing needles has not changed over tens of thousands of years; a sharp pointy end to pierce material being sewn and a hole or eye at the other end to hold some type of thread.  While today's materials and designs are sleek and modern, the needles and their use would be recognized by the earliest humans.

Our human ancestors were inventors, too.  And some of those stone age inventions are used today just as they were tens of thousands of years ago.
