The wheel. According to http://library.thinkquest.org/C004203/science/science02.htm , "Up till now, it is still a mystery as to who invented the wheel and when the wheel was invented. According to archaeologists, it was probably invented in around 8,000 B.C. in Asia. The oldest wheel known however, was discovered in Mesopotamia and probably dates back to 3,500 B.C. This wheel was believed to have been made by the Sumerians." Interesting to me in that both situations seem to follow the development of what is believed to be the first unrecorded language (proto African Asian), and the earliest known recorded language, Sumerian. This suggests to me that perhaps some form of comprehensive interpersonal communication was required for its development and was therefore the work of more than one person.

Agriculture. The three agricultural revolutions changed the way the world ate, traded and worked. It is believe that agriculture 'popped up' in three separate areas around the same time. When people realized they could grow their own food, fabric ect. the manners of trade and labor changed drastically. It also changed the way civilizations were established. Cities started popping up near water sources on lands that were tillable and fertile. It took three agricultural revolutions to get where we are today.
