Motherboards weren't discovered, they were a constructed advent of man.

Technically, motherboards existed at the time of the first computer. A motherboard is, by definition, little more than a board that interconnects different computer components, typically to the CPU. The designation 'Mother' 'Main' and 'Primary' are used in combination with 'board' to denote that it is the centralmost logic board in the computer, and has ties with the CPU. Computers may contain more than one equivalent board, both of which with their own CPU, which could be considered a 'motherboard'.

Motherboards may perform little or no function beyond providing circuit connections, or may also contain it's own internalized logic structure and microprocessors (common in desktop computers).
