From what standpoint? Evolutionary? Technological? Philosophical?

The only one I can think of that crosses all three is language.

Of course there are other achievements such as upright walking and the opposable thumb but they are evolutionary achievements. I'm not sure that's what you meant.

Compassion
Forgiveness
Language

If we can't communicate, how can we build cities, convey feelings (OK, there's always The Club...)

If we don't have compassion, we'd sooner destroy a threat than try to understand it or help it, including our own offspring.

If we don't have forgiveness--same explanation as #2. I think the greatest of all these is love...love of each other, love of nature...gives us the creative force to overcome innumerable obstacles

We don't have any. Humanity is a plague upon the planet. Our greatest achievement will be our extinction.

the wheel
the use of fire (for cooking and sterilization)
the ability to rationalize

This is very broad thought, perhaps you might include if you are speaking literally or philosophically??
