The only 3 real-life innovations we actually use:
- Vehicles. Invented in Mesopotamia about 7,500 years ago.
- Buildings. Invented by Neanderthalers about 44,000 years ago.
- Tools. Invented by early humans some 2,500,000 years ago.
I'm mostly kidding - but I do think the 'innovations' listed in the article are rather broad.
- GavinMcG 10y agoVehicles and buildings are clearly members of the "tool" category. Especially where they intersect. For example, the bikeshed.
- rootbear 10y agoDid Neanderthals build dwellings or similar structures? I don't think I've heard that before.

- dasmoth 10y agoInteresting way of thinking. I'd add Agriculture and Cooking, too. Maybe also Medicine. Edit: and writing?
