Water wasn’t invented by anyone—it’s a natural compound that has existed for billions of years, long before humans came into the picture. Scientifically, water (H₂O) forms when two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen atom. This process occurred on Earth as our planet cooled and elements combined in its early formation. Water is thought to have originated either from volcanic outgassing or from icy comets that collided with Earth. It’s not an invention but a fundamental building block of life that shaped the planet and continues to sustain all living things. So, no one “invented” water—it’s a gift of nature.
