that changed the world
The earliest human invention was sharp stones, later purposefully shaped into tools like core, flake, and blade types during the Paleolithic period. Early tools helped with tasks like hunting, skinning, and constructing shelters. Techniques evolved over time, allowing humans to cut, grind, and shape materials, ultimately aiding survival and allowing primitive people to shape their environment.

Around 1,420,000 BCE, Homo erectus harnessed fire, vital for warmth, cooking, and protection. Initially kept continuously burning due to difficulty in reigniting, fire was later produced using flint or friction. Controlled fire enabled clearing land for agriculture, while mastering it led to metal smelting, advancing civilization beyond the Stone Age.

Around 400,000 BCE, Homo heidelbergensis built the earliest known shelters, such as oval huts with hearths, seen at Terra Amata in France. While early humans also used caves, constructing shelters provided protection and convenience near resources, supporting survival and innovation. Building shelter became essential, second only to agriculture in necessity, shaping early human development.
