Man's greatest achievement was domesticated farming/agriculture. Simple.
It all went downhill from there.
More food supply = bigger armies/nations.
Vicious cycle from there. Mechanized farming enabled a mechanized infantry, enabled the naval races, the nuclear (and space) races. Now we're in 2012 and mankind is just waiting for a moment to press a button - very peak times.
Without food, no system would exist.

I do disagree, because I thought of that and then dismissed it. No standing army on this planet could survive without food. No society could properly progress to the point where people could afford to specialize like we do...Nuclear scientists don't just appear from nowhere, they are a result of stable societies and the passing of knowledge through time. Society has to be stable for specialization and innovation to occur. Egypt's greatest achievement wasn't the Pyramids, it was the ability to generate enough food to build a society and an army that could create enough wealth/labour/food surpluses to allow the society to remain stable enough for specialist builders and tradesmen to appear. Long term, their society was innovative enough.
Look at the differences between North and South Korea. All of the food in the country goes to feeding the Army and the people responsible for holding the fabric of society together.

^ Look at the amount of energy it requires to do something like that. America is a country full of fat people who take in too much food, it's got a surplus of energy of one kind (food), and not enough energy of another kinda (oil), so all the energy is put into maintaining an Army that can, if necessary, take other sources of energy at will.
Society is mad simple, all our fighting is over resources and the territory therein.

Iraq had the 3rd strongest army in the world in the 80's drop a bomb on that sh*t deads it right away wont see carnage like we saw with Stalin's soviet union vs Hitlers Army when the bomb is let off it is hotter than the sun when the yanks tested it turnt the sand to glass. If merica wanted to and iran tried it they can wipe them of the earth and make them a colony

You're not thinking about this the right way.
Have you ever played Red Alert, or Age of Empires, or any of them strategy games? You need FOOD first, nothing comes without food.
How is the nuke our greatest achievement when firstly, it's evil and self-destructive, and two, it's development was only a result of much more important pre-requisites?
You can say democracy is a great achievement, but democracy couldn't exist without society, society wouldn't exist without farming, and humans wouldn't exist without food?
Underlined is bullshit.
