  1. Division of Labor~7,000 BC (craft specialists) · 7,000 BCSplitting work so each person does one thing well instead of everything badly — the arrangement that turns food surplus into every other profession.

    Lever, Pulley, Screw, Gear~6,000 BC (levers and ramps) · 6,000 BCThe simple machines — lever, ramp, pulley, screw, gear — that trade force for distance, letting ordinary human muscle move loads far beyond its natural limit.
