Agriculture.
It allowed human beings to settle in one spot and spend significantly less time hunting and gatherering sustenance. This allowed humans the time to develop writing, mathematics, etc.
Had the Indians of the Americas had substantial agriculture, Europeans might very well have found cities and a society that could rival that which was in Europe.
History would have been VERY different then.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.
