Note that the dates in the Paleolithic era are approximate and refer to the earliest discovered use of an invention, and are likely to change as more research is done and older sites are found. Similarly, the locations listed are for the site where the earliest example to date has been found, but in most cases there is little certainty how close that may be to where the invention actually first took place. 1.8 million years ago: Fire and then cooking [2] 500 thousand years ago (ka): Shelter construction[3] 400 ka: Pigments in Zambia[4] 400 ka: Spears in Germany[5] 200 ka: Glue in Italy[6] 160–40 ka: Burial[7] 110 ka: Beads in Israel[8] 77 ka: Bedding in South Africa[9] 64 ka: Arrowhead in South Africa[10] 61 ka: Sewing needle in South Africa[10] 60 ka: Bow[11] 36 ka: Cloth woven from flax fiber in Georgia[12][13] 35 ka: Flute in Germany[14] 28 ka: twisted rope[15] 16 ka: Pottery in China[16] 6000 BC: Kiln in Mesopotamia[17] 5000 - 4500 BC: Lacquer in China[18] 5000 - 4500 BC: Rowing oars in China.[19][20] 3630 BC: Sericulture in China [21] 3500 BC: the Wheel[22] 3200 BC: Sailing in ancient Egypt[23][24] 3000 BC: Cuneiform in Mesopotamia[25] 3000 BC: Bronze in Mesopotamia[26] 3000 BC: Papyrus in Egypt[27][28] |
