The problem is that the farther in the past, the more "important" an event becomes by just being far into the past. a man dying 5000 years ago could have influenced history of man far more than a man dying 500 years ago.
So yeah, when the first man took a shit, that's one of the most important event in Human History.

Bullshit put aside, equally "First high temperature furnace" and "First successful controlled molecular fusion process". That's in my opinion, at least, i really don't know by which meter you'd quantize this.

This is strictly tied to the localization and the far smaller population in the past, the less people there are the more a single individual counts to the whole. The more population grows, the less the individual counts.
This is just a mathematical simplification and in the end it's a bad meter for the importance of an individual in history. Especially famous people.

Im being completely honest here.
In my opinion, the single most important event in human history has to be the creation of alcohol.
In its creation, it started civilizations to grow, making the need for farming and bringing people together.
Thus starting a chain reaction and propelling humans in the agricultural revolution

Right. Because people didn't start farming because they wanted to eat, but because they wanted to get wasted. Makes sense.
