===The rubber got it named by the Britain by rubing thier mistakes with pincil, which was the easer. The natural rubber was around for 500 years. On Christopher Columbus second voyages he brought back the first rubber band ball from the West Indies.Thomas Hancock discovered the mastication for the rubber,he used the rubber in elastic fastenings for gloves, shoes and stockings. Products for rubber were being used for fishing.The developments in natural rubber science and technology led to a range of new materials derived from it and new liquid natural rubbers have been developed for a variety of uses. Rubber came from the sap of hevea trees in Central America. The plants in the tree would had gotten trapped in and be made in the brak and the latex sap collected and refined into a usable rubber. Ancient Mayans and Aztecs use the rubber to make waterproof boots and the balls to play a game similar to basketball. What we still use the natural rubber for is Seventy percent or more goes into tyres and aircrafs. The space shuttle lands on all natural rubber tyres which gives natural rbber a future for more use.===
