It never entered anybody's head to weave a basket out of willow-withes.

Sometimes the men and women tied tough vines about the bundles of ferns and branches that they carried to the caves to sleep upon.

Possibly in ten or twenty generations we might have worked up to the weaving of baskets.

And of this, one thing is sure: if once we wove withes into baskets, the next and inevitable step would have been the weaving of cloth.

Clothes would have followed, and with covering our nakedness would have come modesty.
Thus was momentum gained in the Younger World.
