Bonus question: What is an invention that was really important and there is no telling how long we would have to wait for it to appear had it not been discovered by the one credited with it?

    Maybe you know it but iron was known in Center Africa before than in Europe or Middle East… but they didn’t know bronze at that time.

    Time and “order” are very unimportant with discoveries.

      Im pretty sure historians would disagree with this statement.
