Answer 5

I think the answer about the wheel is on the right track.  Most "inventions" are actually "discoveries" of how to use something in combination with something else, without making anything new.  

The other "inventions" that I'd submit as candidates would be "language", "writing", "agriculture" and "money".

** Wait! Wait! I think the story about snipers in Bosnia was invented.

Answer 6

The last true invention is the wheel.  Nothing remotely existed like it before.  Once someone had invented the wheel, everything else follows; water wheels, windmills, and on through clocks, watches, industrial machinery and my PC which has wheels in it, somewhere or other anyway and a fan at the back which is in effect a wheel.

So, to sum up, without the wheel we would have nothing much else.

Trick question.
