Not always a revolution.

Agreed.
So the answer to the OP's post is still "No".

Which is what I said. We doint have a pope, and I dunno that we agree
on anything.
Have your posts been met with universal acclaim?

The answer to that one is also "No" ;-)

To expand, answering the OP's question in detail would entail a
lengthy survey of the literature (which might have been the essay-
question-setter's intention?)

For example, we are pretty sure the Sumerians had beer, because they
had the sort of vessels we recognize as beer-brewing and -consuming
equipment, and they also wrote about it, but we don't know whether
they were the first, second, third or 512th culture to do it. And
even if we had good evidence that the Zmorq of the land of Gnaarb had
beer in 20,000 BCE, we'd never be able to say whether they were the
first, etc.

So, we are probably in a sort of agreement that the question as asked
is not susceptible of an answer other than what I posted. Unless
someone is prepared to do the full-scale survey of the literature that
would come up with whatever the current consensus among archaeologists
is as to the first known examples of each of the items listed. Even
then....
