"The wheel " Don't think so. Huge chunks of the world don't or didn't use it. Even in Europe its importance is overated. | |||

Because of it we can now have careers - which was almost impossible before when we spent years in a permanently pregnant state! We can also be polygamous - which only men could do before - as the risk of getting pregnant and 'disgraced' has been taken away! Contraception puts us on an (almost) level playing field to men - without it we'd still be living in men's shadows and our only options would be marriage and motherhood! | |||

They just went ooooo Ahhhhhhhh eee ooooo one, two, three.... Oh I say shouldn't it go zero, one, two.... " We had numbers for a long time...true mathematics only came about after the invention of the concept of zero (Indian invention). This allowed complex calculations on which are based most science, engineering and other things which then led to an explosion of other inventions. I therefore postulate that zero is the mother of most of the inventions mentioned elsewhere on this thread....it is even wheel shaped! | |||

Also penicillin isnt invented its just the secretions of a specific mould. (You can grow it at home)" The original mould is the one still used an was produced from a cantaloupe in the1940's Earnest 'chain' was part of the team that originally worked with the mass production.... The original mould was secretly positioned at 3 locations worldwide. You can grow penicillin at home for sure but I don't think it is guaranteed to work | |||
