Humanity's 10 greatest inventions: the other 9?

Makeup is an interesting idea.

Some animals decorate their den with pretty things to help attract a mate, but I can't think of any that decorate themselves.

Some puff up or change colour, like a toad or a turkey, but that's not the same.
 
as to makeup, It was a joke really, but given the inventions that have made because of it, I guess it sort of deserves its place.
Not to be underestimated. Especially if you include 'perfume' in its widest sense. Perfume is a profound milestone in the development of civilisation.
