Would you consider that nets were invented? Or discovered?
Cos it’s like a mathematical principle so discovered should be right and yet I can’t think of any net-like material in nature that was copied for the earliest neolithic fishing nets …plus the historical best guess is that fishing nets were an adapted technology from weaving/knitting so people must have invented them somehow

Yeah, the principle is in webs but not the material
So I guess it’s like a confluence of discovery and invention
There were doubtless stages between spearing fish, coralling fish into waters to be more easily speared & then simply catching them in some stick-constructed matrix/cage/trap which got refined to just lobbing a net in and scooping them up
This is borderline noticing
Mosquito net
Tha-net
