Sure it is, it was invented by GOD.
Written languages are inventions.Granted that neither spoken or written language are inventions in the sense of , say, the printing press but they still were inventions by multiple people over periods of time. We are even coming to realize that spoken language is even present in a primitive sense in the animal kingdom. Perhaps this thread needs a narrower definition of "invention"?
A discovery is something that is already in existance and is discovered by someone, like natural laws or continents.
Something can actually be discovered multiple times by different people. Some things are even forgotten and then re-invented.You mean like that unnamed Siberian who discovered the American some 15,000 years ago?
Sorry but language is an innate abiullity of people.they still were inventions by multiple people over periods of time
Zero. The symbol used in calculation and the idea of using it in calculations.
Writing. Or maybe language. One or the other for sure.
But seriously, the wheel or the lever.
The domestication of grains, and wheat, in particular.
the needle
The computer
Hands down, the single greatest invention ever is the egg timer. There would be ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to time eggs without something specifically made to time eggs. I would not want to raise children in such a world.
Hands down, the other single greatest invention ever is the curb, those things that make a street stop being a street. Without curbs, you wouldn't know where the street was and where it wasn't. It would be anarchy. Cars would just drive anywhere and injure children while they're eating eggs on the sidewalk.
Sorry but language is an innate abiullity of people.
Even deaf children isolated from sociey developed their own sign language.
The domestication of grains, and wheat, in particular.
your. post. wrong.There have been a few reported cases of "wild children" who were literally raised by animals from a very early age. If they are taken back into human company past the age of four or five they never learn to speak beyond single words or very short phrases. Language does not appear to be innate but requires some degree of human association in the very early years.
Is that necessarily a bad thing?If we had to depend on wild foods only the human race would be a very tiny fraction of its current population.
