SushiSquid 07/09/17 11:39:21 AM #13:	Fire was probably the most important. An argument could be made for most of the basic tools (wedge, wheel, lever, incline, screw, pulley). I suppose that, due to the Industrial Revolution completely changing how humans live, an argument could also be made for the steam engine being one of the most important inventions ever. That does require fire already though. <cite>SushiSquid posted [p:882596878] in What do yo... [t:75546557]...</cite> <quote>Fire was probably the most important.

I would say language does not count as an invention, but that fire does. Or at least, the control of fire is an invention. It requires knowledge and technology to perform. Meanwhile, language is a natural development of social beings. True language as we understand it is something we evolved into over time. Controlling fire is more of a specific invention.

And it's absolutely an artificial construct. SushiSquid posted... but that fire does. Or at least, the control of fire is an invention. It requires knowledge and technology to perform. Well.... eh. Historically, humans had such little control over fire that they almost never made fire themselves and instead relied on some of their neighbors fire.
