Best invention - I have to go with the wrap. Using the hide of your kill to gather up the bits you want to take back to your shelter is a step. Keeping that hide around and finding ways to make it last instead of rotting and being an insect magnet is another step. Using the wrap to keep the wind and rain off of you and the kiddies, keeping you warm and happy, and allowing you to carry surplus veggies back to the shelter - huge step. I think it possibly predates fire, and is so impactful I can't imagine all the ramifications.
Worst invention? My vote is for negative attribution. The creating of a bad story to fill a perceived void of knowledge about something or someone. The beginnings of the "bad stranger", the "alien" or the "weird family two caves down". That has led to more grief, ignorance, unending nasty shit, death, pain and hatred . . .
