What events would you say undeniably changed human civilization overall, from past to present?

Wars has existed since the beginning of everything. OP means an actual world event.
Sure: I would say WW2 would have been a changer: it got people to migrate to England, Australia, America and if it wasn't for WW2, inventions and people today would not exist.

Sedentary agriculture ruined absolutely fucking everything.
All major inventions and discoveries: how to control fire, the printing press, discovery of the Americas by Europeans, Adam Smith's and Marx's works, electricity, the world wide web...
Some people call them singularities, OP.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki changed the way wars were fought. In a sense, they brought peace.

I don't know, man.
They weren't substantially different from the conventional bombing campaign that was taking place up until then. And if you go by tonnage of bomb per dollar.... I'd say that you need to reach the mid fifties before the atom bomb is more efficient than chemical explosives.
They brought peace to the world of the Cold War; but they 'just' ended the Second World War about three months early.

Every single event that happens every single day changes the course of history forever. Go back in time and change some small thing, and down the road the world will look different.
Imagine you went back in time and decided you want to go on a tour of the past and stay at an inn, and you take up a room that would have otherwise gone to another man. That man would have met his future wife there, and they would have had a child who would be the parent to Franklin Roosevelt. Take up a single room one time in an inn, and suddenly Roosevelt is never born and the entire course of WWII, if it even happens at all, is completely different.
