What would you add/drop to the list of the ten top inventions that changed the world?

Fire. Fire was a pretty good invention.

We didn’t invent fire... Fire exists naturally. We just domesticated fire.

Gee. Very basic.

And here I was thinking only that every one of those ten inventions required ... fossil fuel!

(Can you image inventing “fire” if OSHA and the EPA ruled the caves?

Was fire invented or discovered?

Anthropologists credit fire/cooking as a major step in mans advancement. Cooked starches made more nutrition available for digestion. I read that on an FR link one day.

Put FR somewhere on the list.
