the first guy who found a pretty shell or a pretty rock m abnd put a piece of thin rawhide through it, was a genius!
speaking of things such as this. isaac asimov once wrote that it is a very biased view we have of inventions that halped humanity, because most of the inventions that truly helped us evolve civilization were created by women, and they were degradable.
the first basket, the first mat, the first bowl, the first utensil for cooking. the first fabric clothing.
most of these things were likely invented by women, but no record exists of this. the items just rot away through time.
now the real question is, who invented the BJ? women to get their man to shut the fuck up? or lonely hunters out for a fortnight under the poetically beautiful brokeback mountain moon?
