In the previous lesson you created a timeline of events. There are many events mentioned, however, not all the events help in the progression of the plot.
The discovery of the pre-historic man is unique event, but it would not be considered as a major event, as it does not help in progression of the plot. Nevertheless, the discovery of Arne Saknussemm's initials is a major event as it led the characters towards their destiny. Refer to the novel JCE pg 296, for further details.
