SciShow, "The Most Important Invention Ever Is... Glue.", October 6, 2025, YouTube, 12:19, https://youtube.com/watch?v=n1-5-O6IAWo. |
There's one human innovation that's so critical to our lives that every modern human group seems to have it. And you probably have some in your craft drawer - it's glue! Turns out there's a long history of glue-making that cements it as a foundational invention for all kinds of human innovations, from weapons to art to medical adhesives. No wonder it's stuck around for so long!
