'Worst' implies an element of choice, which in evolutionary terms is irrelevant.
So we'll have to leave out the ability to refine oil, the switch from hunter gatherer to a more agrarian existence, the abandoning of pagan beliefs in the rush to embrace the Abrahamic religions and many, many other ruinous practices.
So I'll go for either:
1. The removal of raisins from the bottom layer of the Double Decker.
2. The illegal fielding of Carlos Tevez by West Ham in the 2006/2007 Premieship Football season, resulting in the relegation and subsequent demise of Sheffield United as a viable team.

Came down from the trees is the worst thing that we ever did as a species.
The shellsuit must be up there.
Seriously though, our lack of intervention in things that could easily have been prevented... The Rwandan genocide for instance, everyone knew it was happening, yet no-one lifted a finger.
Only a few post in and we have a winner... (well, I think so)

well played sir... genius

Correct this for you:

I'd go along with someones sentiment above about X-Factor. Maybe ITV as a whole in fact. I think war/poverty etc pales into insignificance compared to ITV.
The agonising scream in the pit of my stomach reopened after reading this...
2. The illegal fielding of Carlos Tevez by West Ham in the 2006/2007 Premieship Footbal season, resulting in the relegation and subsequent demise of Sheffield United as a viable team.
So must be that.

I'd say that the relegation of Sheff Utd must have been one of mans greatest acheivements. I'm looking forward to seeing it happen again this year.

We have no one to blame but ourselves.
That and renaming Marathon to Snickers. Marathon implies something epic, the Deltic of chocolate bars. Snickers is a silly non-word.
Or... greed, intolerance, genocide and worst of all sitting back and watching greed, intolerance, genocide etc.

started inventing stuff.. farming.. money.. industrial revolution.. the internal combustion engine.. television..
that very roughly sums up the decline of mankind for me..
Invented money.
The worst thing hasn't come yet, we will do far worse things in the coming future.

Life would be so much better if we were scrabbling around in mud huts dying of easily cureable diseases eh?

I guess that very much depends on your point of view dunnit mush?
ever tried it?
Well there's areas of the world still doing it. They don't seem to like it much.

I imagine the Dodos would prefer it.
You can't blame Jethro Tull for everything you know 😆The Seed Drill

Anyway I shall go for the diet of worms and
the romans, after all what have they ever done for us.

although often and slightly more accurately.. it's us advanced members of consumerist societies that don't like them liking it..
Yep. No, maybe you're right and the africans dying of treatable diseases don't know how good they have it.

What can we possibly do wrong?

Personally,
I killed a mouse with a broom.
I stole 50p as a child
ever tried it?
Strangely enough no, I haven't tried dying of an easily cureable disease. Have you?
Yep. No, maybe you're right and the africans dying of treatable diseases don't know how good they have it
That simplifies the situation so much it is stunning.
Yep. No, maybe you're right
well.. disease and famine are disease and famine..
that's indisputable..
and largely irrelevant to any point that you seem to be trying to contradict..
Strangely enough no, I haven't tried
evidently
Cures for and prevention (sanitation etc) of disease as well as the prevention of and intervention (aid etc) in famine goes hand in hand with our evolution.
