The most significant event in human history is something smallish compared to ideas tossed around earlier (Jesus’ birth, start of farming, etc.) but it gains it's significance in that it prevented what would have been the most terrible of human events.
I'm talking about the peaceful resolution to the Cuban Missile Crisis. This planet was one mistake away from global nuclear war, which would have effectively ended human history for, at least, a very long time. So I think the prevention of world war three during the Cuban Missile Crisis is the most significant event in human history.
