Grog of the Cave Bear Clan was dubbed "the person who most changed history" for his creation of the concept of an afterlife and higher being in the Year 65,567 BC, in order to keep members of his tribe in line. Ever since then, the number of people who belong to an organized religion or believe in a higher being add up to 80% of the earth's population.

Its in the eye of the beholder in a sense.
Jesus Christ is probably the best answer.
Other possible contenders would be Emperor Constantine of the Roman empire. He converted the Romans to Christianity and thus embedded it in the western world. ( This may have happened eventually without his help)...
Genghis Khan came out of nowhere to create the the largest empire to date changing society as it had been.
Lastly, I group all the explorers that came to the Americas together into another candidate. In addition to the riches of gold and silver they plundered, they brought back sugar, coffee, chocolate, and tobacco. In return, they and those that followed introduced disease to the natives and virtually wiped them out. Those that followed kidnapped Africans and brought them to the Americas as slaves.

Jesus Christ because without him we wouldnt have crusades which i turn in my opinion fueled muslim hatred towards christians. The spaniards coverted the natives makin it easier to conquer latin america. well thats my opinion.. there is many more reasons but unfortunatly I do not have enough time to discuss them.

I would have to say that Jesus changed history. He influenced the Christian faith (heck, He is the Christian faith) as well as philosophies and thoughts around the world.
