I’d give laser pointers to Neanderthals. Even if they did figure out some useful application for them (maybe hunting?) they’d run out of batteries eventually.

If you’re looking for the biggest change in our timeline for the littlest work I’d give a hindu-arabic numerals to early Greek mathematicians. Watching those guys try to wrap their heads around zero, that would fuck Pythagoras.
The idea that nobody understood the concept of zero until long after the Greeks is just something I can never understand.
Just… how? I don’t remember having to be taught what zero was, I’m pretty sure I grokked it instantly.
