Tell me the three most important events in the history of human kind.?

Question

Please be serious.

Answer 1

The top five are:

5. 476 AD - Fall of the Roman Empire, the last emperor is deposed by barbarians, although the fall was a steady decline, this was the year that it finally happened, europe descending into the dark ages after this point

2. Aug 6, 1588 - Spanish Armada defeated, beginning Britain's hegemy (sp) that lasted several hundred years.

3. July 3, 1863 - Longstreet's frontal assault with Trimble, Picket and Garnett's 15,000 men marked high tide of the Confederacy, a victory would've meant the end of the Civil War and Southern independence.

2. December 2, 1942 - first controlled nuclear fission, international policy has never been the same since. Marked the beginning of nuclear holocaust potential, relying on E-MC2 and other scientists work/knowledge before him.


and the # single most important event in history of Mankind:

1. 24,000 BC - homosapiens drive the Neanderthals off, and the world has never been the same since.

Answer 2

Aside from my birth?

Well, three is cutting it close. There were so many important events.

***

Bipedal Locomotion. It's not so much of an event, but a process. When early human Hominids started walking, they were able to use their hands and make tools more than any other primate or other species. Although language and brain development are also important, I think walking upright is probably #1.

The invention of writing is pretty big. The ancient Mesopotamians were technically the first. This created a way to permanently keep records, tax people, control trade, codify laws.

Columbus sails - aka The Columbian voyages. We all know Columbus didn't discover the New World. (The Vikings visited years earlier, and there were millions of people living in the New World for at least 15,000 years). But the Columbian voyages changed history for so many in so many ways: New World wealth shipped back to the old world, centuries of Colonialism, and helped start the development of capitalist global relationships of the modern world.

Answer 3

I don't think there is a serious answer to a question like that, since there's no way to establish a universal standard for what counts as most important. I could make a good case for any number of events.

Invention of gunpowder.
Invention of writing.
Invention of printing.
Discovery of magnetism.
World War II.
Discovery of radiation.
Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon.
Discovery of fire.
The American Revolution.

And so on and so on. If I wanted to pick just three, I'd probably go back to the earliest ones. The invention of writing, for example, set the stage for many later events.

Answer 4

I wont bother to search the web for the answer to this one. without a doubt, be ye man or woman the day you were born is your important event,when you conceive child also a most important event,and without those historical moments this would be a planet without human, and without our death we would all surely parish, that being the third most important event in the historyof human kind

Answer 5

Tough one. Especially since importance is relative.
Rather than events (which are not really important other than to the participants), I would limit my response to inventions.
The three most important inventions are:
fire
the knife blade
and
agriculture (domesticating plants).
These things made us the most successful species on the planet, and allowed us to develop the civilization that has spanned the last 10,000 years.

Answer 6

1) Development of agriculture.
2) Domestication of first animal.
3) Defeat of Nazi Germany.

Answer 7

for me, the ff. are the most important events
in d history of humankind:
*universal declaration of human rights - great
advantage to us people to have our own free will to live in a normal life.
*software & technology innovations - helps people live in a great living of creations that
is less complicated works.

Answer 8

First was the creations of humans,
Second was the free thinking mind
Third was the life of Jesus Christ

Answer 9

the ability to walk upright - 6 million years ago.
The discovery of fire - 1 million years ago
the discovery of agriculture - 10000 years ago

Answer 10

what an awesome question! erm.... tough to answer though, but i'd go right back to the start and answer from there.

so, discovery of fire... speech...now im stuck.

ah stuff it, the discovery of america because they will either be the ones who save or destroy the world in some way.
