Nice.
1> The idea that rights are inherent and protected by government, not bestowed by it.
2> That man and god do not require an intermediary
3> Discovery of the scientific method
4> Development of Romantic love
5> Alcohol (see <4>)
6> Games: Sports, board
7> Practical math - bookkeeping to calculus
8> Written history
9> Orderly cultivation - plants and animals
10> Birth Control
I believe order is relatively unimportant when you're condensing a few millenia into a list of 10 things. :-)
