You didn't give a time line so I will go with fire(heat and cooking) and the wheel.

I would posit that fire is not an invention, but a discovery. The invention there is the control of fire for beneficial purposes. (I am excluding the control of fire for noxious purposes, e.g. cooking Brussels sprouts or overcooking asparagus).
