No one knows exactly when the first shovel was invented or even who invented it. One story found on the internet tells the story of a man inventing it as a weapon to use during an attack on his village, then later turned into a tool that digs.

What is an example of consumers setting the demand?

What the market/people demand. IE, it's winter time and people need shovels. So people will go to buy shovels. As a whole, lets say a store sells 25 shovels that day. That is the market demand. That's how many shovels people want. If the store had only 20 shovels to sell, there are still 25 people who want shovels, so the market demand is 25, yet the supply is only 20.

Who invented the shovel and when?

No one really knows when the shovel was invented nor whom it was invented by. There are archeological findings of animal scapulas (shoulder blades) that were used as crude shovels that date around Neolithic times or the New Stone Age, which is around 12,000 years ago. It wasn't until the 1890's to the 1910's that Fredrick Windslow Taylor expanded on the existing idea of making different varieties of shovels based on the density and texture of the material being shoveled. But Taylor and his colleagues were not the ones that invented the shovel. Whoever did lived thousands of years ago and will forever remain unnamed.
