The ten earliest inventions in chronological order:
The Knife (2,500,000 BC – 1,400,000 BC)
Fire (1,000,000 BC)
Clothing (500,000 BC – 100,000 BC)
Housing (500,000 BC)
Spears (400,000 BC)
Pigments (400,000 BC)
The Boat (60,000 BC)
Musical Instruments (50,000 BC)
Rope (17,000 BC)
The Wheel (5,000 BC)

And remember that BC counts backwards, so the knife was invented 2,495,000 years BEFORE the wheel.

The wheel maybe?? There's a lot of things that I'm sure are considered as inventions before that though.

I think the first invention was a hand held grinding tool used to grind roots and nuts into a paste that could be fed to 3 or 4 year olds to get them completely weaned because the next baby was coming. That meant the 3-4-year-old needed to be eating solid food. Grinding raw food into something they could digest would require a specialized, portable grinding tool.

I think a club would be the first because they needed something to kill animals with to get food and they didnt learn how to make spear points until later on.
