I think agriculture would definitely be one of the top answers. It allowed us to settle in one area and freed us from the nomadic/hunting way of life, which in turn allowed us to turn our minds to creating and inventing on a much bigger scale. It allowed for a higher population and all the contributions that those people made to society that otherwise would not have been. Being able to live in one area also allowed people to collect wealth which eventually led to the need for other institutions. Agriculture was one of the main building blocks of the society that we know today.

I have the answer... Cheetos!

they go good with beer!

This could get ugly, but for me Cheetos are not the thing to go with beer. It's gotta be junk food with more crunch!

It's all a matter of taste. :D
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
