Nails are a simple human invention. Let's not simplify the matter.
Humans are actually radically different from other organisms. If we chose to, we might be able to destroy virtually all the large life forms on the planet. No other organism in history has that capacity. After billions of years, this milestone was achieved only decades ago. Hard to say that we are not different.
We can also leave a biosphere that does not permit other organisms (as far as we know) to leave without technological means.
We have used our technology to create shelters that allow us to live in harsh climates in larger numbers than would have been possible say twenty thousand years ago.
Many of us who have been exposed to physics and math realize that the complexity of the universe does not appear to be random or mystical. We can only speak of what we know. And that is that we have used our understanding of nature to create for ourselves and to understand and predict physical realities to great accuracy. This process continues in a progressive manner. And I believe we will make even more *discoveries* that (when applied) will radically alter how we live---just as we always have.
Therefore the onus is on YOU to prove that we "invent".
