Who Said It: Jeremiah
When: 700 B.C.
The Story behind It: Found in the Old Testament (Jer. 13:23), these words are spoken by the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah. He tells the people of Jerusalem-personified in the form of a shepherdess-that the city will soon be attacked by an enemy from the north. The shepherdess, a vile and hopeless creature, has been deserted by her family and friends. Jeremiah implores the woman to give up her evil ways and live according to God's laws. The prophet realizes, however, that it might be impossible for the woman to heed his warning. He says: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."
A leopard cannot change its spots : used to say that people cannot change their character especially if it is a bad one.
It is used when impllying that a persons true nature will always manifest.
Back in the early 1400's
yes and no :)
In short, the proverb 'rain beats a leopard's skin but it does not wash out the spots' means that, no matter how much you try, you can't change a person/something.
The nouns in the sentence are: leopard and spots.
The moral of the story is that to blend into your environment you need to change your appearance to match that of the background.

just like a leopard a man can not change his skin. a leopard can not change it's spots and a man can not change his ethnicity.
certain characteristics in a person never changes from cradle to grave.that is meaning. your individuality shall show itself off;you cannot change yourself.
A slave.
It means that you cant change who you are.
No, the leopard doesn't change its spots. This is a metaphor for change that cannot be expected in a person.
