Leather wasn't invented, it really evolved over time. Animal skins are one of humanity's oldest materials available. From the time the first deer, etc., was killed, people tried to use every part of the animal. They scraped skin could be dried and cut into strips for lacing things (like other animal skins!) together, it could be used for drum heads, clothing, etc. Over time, a variety of techniques were developed to make the skins last longer and remain flexible. In medieval Europe, for example, the hides were cured with animal feces.
