Fire. Cooked food gives more calories than raw thus reducing the amount of time needed to find food. This in turn allowed humans to use their new free time to invent everything else.

Covid vaccine. It used to take 30 years to make a vaccine on average, still haven't vaccines for some virus we know about for 90 years.
But covid was made in 2 hours from a genome downloaded from a Chinese website. That's amazing. |

For humans?
It’s a mixture between writing and agriculture
Writing allowed knowledge to be properly recorded and handed down or passed along
Agriculture ended the nomadic life style and literally created civilisation. It’s very hard to invent anything when your constantly on the move looking for fresh water, food and shelter |

"Superglue.
Broken your favourite drinking mug? No problem!
Your arm is hanging off after that regrettable chainsaw accident and is now dangling by an exposed tendon?
No problem!  "
Coincidentally it was made to patch up wounds on American G.I's during the Vietnam war. That's why it sticks skin together so well. |

"Contraception even if people struggle to understand even now how to use them."
I was going to say the same.
Because of contraception women have the freedom to embark on a career and limit the size of her/their family rather than being a permanent baby making machine.
It’s also made the ‘average’ family more prosperous due to less mouths to feed - and revolutionised the way we see sex - as a pleasure rather than simply as a means of procreation. |

I'm sorry, but this is a myth. The stuff was first patented in 1942, after it was discovered by accident by a team that were trying to develop clear plastic gunsights for the Second World War. It was then rediscovered in 1951, and first sold as a commercial adhesive in 1958.
The Americans didn't get properly sucked into the fighting in Vietnam until after the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. Yes, it was used as a medical adhesive there, but it wasn't specifically developed for that.
The FDA didn't fully approve it for medical use until 1998. |

"The clitoris and prostate.
Life must have been really boring before they were invented.
Interesting board meeting thinking them up  "
Women! Best invention ever - bit of an intermittent fault in the control circuitry anout every 28 days where the control ends up randomly causing irritability and unreasonable behaviour which fortunately men are understanding of and tolerate very well
In general a reliable workhorse with a few hidden features which appear mainly when they’re d*unk and out with other female units.
But considering it was made with a male rib pretty useful things to have around. |
