Fire has to be THE most important invention ever. If you think about it. How would are ancestors have made it along if we didn't have fire. Fire was used to cook food.

3 The Wheel

The wheel is so important think of all the things we have accomplished with the wheel. Transportation- Cars, Chariots, planes. All of these would not exist without the wheel. And from an energy standpoint the wheel is how we generate electricity from hydropower and wind power.
