      Fire or the wheel I’d imagine!

      Fire would of been more of a discovery by observing lightning set light to trees but the process of making fire would of been an invention and quite something.

      Similar with a wheel i reckon they noticed how thinks rolled down hill and then came up with the wheel and therefore the axle 🙂

      I agree with Ryan, fire.

      Fire was one of the first inventions / discoveries back in the Stone Age 790,000 years ago.

      The wheel was something invented much later, like 10,000 years ago.
