Communication in anything but simplest terms.
Early man language, from what I understand, consisted of a series of grunts and clicks.
Today, our complex languages and abilities to translate into other languages allow us to share literature, technology and scientific discoveries with the rest of the work; not just within our own tribes.
We would not be able to travel, read, learn how to set a VCR, et al, without sophistication of communication.

I would say writing. Writing allowed for the recording of knowledge. Knowledge could be more easily passed down, including language, laws, engineering, and communication over distances...

Landing on the moon. It is the culmination of engineering
and science to date.
There have been lots of more important inventions
(fire, writing, the printing press, the computer), but to date it has
been THE task that has pulled them all together.
1969, folks. Before most of you were born.

Opposable thumbs.
Think how useless humans would be without them. It's what makes us superior in the animal kingdom.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I know it was said here already, but it means the victory over death.
Through Jesus Christ, nobody need fear death, and there is life everlasting, if you are of the faith.
