We know and talk about the wheel and fire inventions that changed ancient mankind but we have forgotten about string. yes, string changes everything for man the same way fire and the wheel did. We could bind things together, create drills, the bow, nets, rope, and more. The lowly string means to be placed on the mantel of great inventions that changed mankind's future.


FIRE. The wheel. String. The invention of string might not leap to mind when you think of humanity’s greatest early feats.


CALL it prehistoric string theory. The earliest evidence of string has been found – apparently created by our Neanderthal cousins.


The team’s findings, published this week in the journal PLOS One, narrow down the invention of string to sometime between 160,000 and 120,000 years ago.

You can not have a string without needles which prehistoric man invented too... Here a 6 things prehistoric man invented... I do think the needle is an under-appreciated invention.


An Understated Prehistoric Invention: The Sewing NeedleIt may seem like a simple thing, but for the Stone Age, this prehistoric invention was a game changer of massive proportions. The oldest possible sewing needle came from 61,000 years ago and was found in South Africa.

@rittmeister, Germans and Hungarians invented the wheel because the Bolarez is a Baden culture... based on video #9... The wheel came from mining?


It is found in Central and Southeast Europe, and is in particular known from Moravia (Czech Republic), Romania, Hungary, southern Poland, Slovakia, northern Croatia and eastern Austria. Imports of Baden pottery have also been found in Germany and Switzerland (Arbon-Bleiche III). It is often grouped together with the Coțofeni culture as part of the Baden-Coțofeni culture.

Here is an article...


The invention of wheel was perhaps the second most important event in the evolution of mankind, after probably the discovery of methods to tame fire. However, the origins of the wheel have been widely debated and no clear source can be found as to who made the first one.

While archaeological evidence of wheels are found all around the globe from around 5000 to 3000 B.C., the new study suggests that the copper miners working in the Carpathian mountains around 6,000 years ago may have had a significant role to play in major inventions associated with the wheel.

Further, archaeologists excavating sites in the Carpathian Mountain region of eastern Europe have unearthed more than 150 clay models of four-wheeled wagons, all of them, judging from a big loop handle at one end, designed for use as drinking mugs. Carbon-14 analysis dates the formation of the Boleráz culture that produced the mugs to no later than 3600 BC.

Here is more... there another, plus China had their path to the wheel...


It's possible that the wheel was invented by copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains up to 6,000 years ago, according to a modeling study that uses techniques from structural mechanics.

.

The wheel was invented in the 4th century BC in Lower Mesopotamia(modern-day Iraq), where the Sumerian people inserted rotating axles into solid discs of wood. It was only in 2000 BC that the discs began to be hollowed out to make a lighter wheel.
