What Did We Use Before Toilet Paper?: 200 Curious Questions and Intriguing Answers

It’s thought by some anthropologists that it might have been the first item worn, taking the form of a strip of fur around the necks of our ancestors. However, the earliest evidence of the wearing of neckties was by the Chinese. ~What did we use before Toilet Paper; Andrew Thompson

  2. Curious what neck ties have to do with toilet paper, but I suppose this book is about all things and when they came about. Interesting still!
