I don’t think fossil fuels truly come into play until the late 19th century.. Even then to a smallish extent. The great inventors and discoverers did not require them. They are definitely key in manufacturing at scale and globalisation, but I don’t think the development of technology is/was dependent on access to fossil fuels.
