greatest human accomplishments

[jreckoning]

The moldboard plough was a huge achievement.

Made farming way easier so people could harvest and eat because they could grow a ton more crops.

Before it they just toiled the fields with their hoes (wives and farm implements )

Electricity

But the number one pinnacle of human achievement, the one thing that allowed every other invention and discovery to follow, the very essence of civilisation: Writing.

The invention of writing is fundamental to everything technological.

Work invented man as man invented work (see Engels; Braverman; and others).

The same may perhaps be true of writing, though we don't really know.

[Drunken Cat]

The Pyramids of Giza.

And beer.

[Konstantin]

The internet - connecting everyone.

Anatomically modern humans were around before writing. The thing that writing made possible was the recording and storage of knowledge.

[Dale Cardon]

The greatest human accomplishment is when human started walking upright. By walking on their hind legs they freed up their hands to produce simple tools.

Not far behind would be the development of language skills, which allowed for the exchange of complex concepts.

If we are talking about inventions, the use of fire and the invention of the wheel are what started it all.

Creating weapons that can destroy humanity.

[Barn]

Putting together the standard model of fundamental particles and continuing to.
