2.  When man first walked he tried to make an object that would protect him from bodily harm.

3.  We do not know who made the first armor because it was constructed before written documents were made.

4.  In the first body armor they may have used animal skins and possibly bone.  Many year after the invention of metal gave the armor a add boost of protection.  Around modern time the invention of bullet resistant fibers further increase the soldiers survivability.

5.  To get the materials needed, the person would have to kill an animal and skin it.  Next the person would have to make leather from the skin and shape the leather into the right proportions.  Finally the person would layer and sow the leather together to make the protective shirt.

6.  From basic animal skin jackets to metal plate armor.  Metal provided a extra level of protection against cutting, stabbing, and blunt trauma.  After metal came the modern protective fibers that can take multiple shot and keep on protecting the user.

7.  In the beginning the first people who made armor were the hunters and the warriors of the tribe.  During the iron, bronze, and middle ages the black smith was responsible for the creation of the armor and or the weapons.  In modern time the armor is made by many different manufactures.

9.  Skin armor is light but provides less protection.  Metal gives more protection but lacks mobility.  Bullet resistant vests give the best of both worlds but still has its limitations.

10.  In the middle ages the site of a fully armor knight was one of both power and status.  Modern armor can be concealed but is as important to some people in the world as food and water.  But people forget the roots of armor, as a simple leather jacket.
