The wheel at 10?


And theory of evolution shouldn’t be on the list. The knowledge of evolution doesn’t affect anyone’s day to day life.

Harnessing the atom should be on the list.

It's not a descending or ascending order. And you're probably right, but that theory got over on a lot of people out there as an answer to "why we are".. But I agree, doesnt hold weight to my life or decision making.

Language and Math


I often think about language and how bizzare it actually is....we are just creatures running around making grunts and sounds and turned those grunts and sounds into an actual understanding. Without language nothing else would have been able to happen. Language is the greatest achievement our species has ever accomplished.

Wheel is overrated. It was the axle that really got things rolling.

Without #3, the others never happen. Cooked food allowed us to have bigger brains.

Also, domestication of animals and cultivation of crops seems like it should be up there.

I agree with a lot if that, without language and especially the written language religion would be a strange concept. The understanding of law and science, Etc.
