As title says, in your opinion what is the most important event in world history? Would you say it's the invention of an important object such as paper, wheels, electrical generator, compass, steam engine, or instant ramen? Would you argue that it should be the discovery of an idea, such as electricity, penicillin, or DNA? Or maybe wars, reformations, restorations, and revolutions?
For me, my personal choice is agricultural revolution, since domestication of plants and animals changed our civilisation forever, especially in regards to hierarchies, roles, and inequalities.

Gotta say, the Cambrian explosion seems pretty damn important NGL.
Maybe proto-Earth getting hit by Theia would be a better choice though, kind need a moon to live y'know.

The question is too vague and it's hard to answer with well-documented or well-known in part because necessarily the longer ago a major event took place, the more impact it will have had.

I wouldn't consider the agricultural revolution, because we'd still be nomadic slash and burners had we not settled on permanent settlements, which have grown into the cities we know today.
Thus, my candidate would be the establishment of the world's first truly permanent settlements, marking the transition from gatherer-hunters. Of course, it was enabled by the agricultural revolution, but in theory (and in a little bit of practice, as I cite contemporary slash and burn agriculture) you could still be agricultural nomads who farm the living lights out of one place before moving to another.

If someone says the miracle on the Vistula is the most important even in world history, you can bet he's Polish.

Not Polish, just wanted to add in something from recent history.

The formation of early microbes on the planet that grew into life is probably the most important because it set Earth apart from most other planets.
In human history, probably our migration across the continents.

I think the French Revolution is noteworthy, since it forever changed the political, social and economic thinking of the human being
