Life is the best invention of them all.

Life is the best invention of them all.
This is a one-liner from Gabriel García Márquez. What does 'them' here stand for? I consider it as the tautology of 'life'. So this sentence means: the value of life is life itself or life is what has happened. Is it right?
  

Top answer

'Them' stands for 'inventions'. Life is the best invention of all inventions. Of all inventions, life is the best.
