Wood as THE human tool?

Sure, they found a 4,000 yr old wood arrow in Norway recently

Speaking of the early human inventions, I always assumed shoe making as the first profession. 
It's right up there with cooking (quality food).

Sure, shoes on hard or grassy surfaces.

When we see the human foot prints from way back, that's probably because the ground was sandy and or muddy.

Like what we do today, when at the edge of the beach.

Don't want the shoes all muddy, makes sense to remove them a go natural, 😉
