кто придумал футбольный мячик?

Англичане.

Китайцы

Он сам ртодился. Только идут споры: что было раньше курица или мяч

Сначала чепчики в воздух бросали - плохо летят
Потом юбки в воздух бросали - долго летят
Потом бюстгалтеры - в воздухе они слипались и мужики за ними гонялись
А вот про женский футбол я не въезжаю :-)))

австралопитеки, сначала его из камня делали

"Through out history, humans have enjoyed kicking a ball or something like a ball. ..
In 1836 Charles Goodyear patented vulcanized rubber. Prior to this, balls were dependant on the size and shape of the pig's bladder. ..
In 1855, Charles Goodyear designed and built the first vulcanized rubber soccer balls (footballs). ..
In the 1862, H.J. Lindon developed one of the first inflatable rubber bladders for balls. ..
In 1863 the newly formed English Football Association met to hammer out the laws of the game. No description of the ball was offered in the first set of rules. When the rules were revised in 1872 it was agreed that the ball "must be spherical with a circumference of 27 to 28 inches" (68.6 cm to 71.1 cm). That rule remains in today's FIFA laws. Very little has ever been written about the ball, probably because it has remained very much the same over the years. The official size and weight of the ball was first fixed in 1872. It was changed ever so little in 1937 when the official weight was increased from 13-15 oz to 14-16 oz. ..
The Encyclopedia of Association Football (first published in England in 1956) says as follows "According to the Laws of Football, the ball must be spherical with an outer casing of leather or other approved materials. The circumference shall not be more than 28 in., nor less than 27 in, while the weight at the start of the game must not be more that 16 oz., nor less than 14 oz." ...
What has changed drastically over the last 30 or so years is the material the ball is made of and the shape of the panels that make up the ball.
...
Mass production of soccer balls started as a direct consequence of the English Football League that was founded in 1888. Mitre and Thomlinson's of Glasgow were two of the first companies to mass produce soccer balls during that time. They touted that the key element in a quality football was how well it could retain it's shape."
