From my POV, the the only missing pieces are the taming of fire (a root cause that preceded totalitarian ag and made everything else we've done possible) and an exploration of the influence evolution has had on human brains and behavior (aka evolutionary psychology).

It's divinely ironic that the first major human discovery - fire - will be the thing that does us in at last, through our relentless burning of fossil carbon.
