[edit] Inventions
Revolutionary inventions call for a cocky and similar 'revolutionary' change in one or many human societies. Examples may include the iron plow's effect on agricultural production, or the textile mill.
Paleontologists call for division of prehistoric human societies along what could be considered 'revolutionary' inventions, eg. two ages of early and late stone working, settled agriculture, etc. For a listing of revolutions, see the article Revolutions or the Category:Revolutions
Many sources will claim that progressively smaller and smaller events qualify as 'revolutionary,' for example, historians focusing on Greece may claim that the domestication of trees in ancient Greece qualifies as a subset to the neolithic revolution, or as its own revolution in agriculture.
