What historical person has made the greatest contribution to human society?
In your opinion, who is the individual that has had the most paramount impact and influence on our society? A person you recognize as a grand contributor, be it in science, politics or other areas. Preferably with a short motivation. From any era, dead or alive.

I'd nominate the person who invented the concept of Money, which then became a universally accepted medium of exchange for goods and services.
I think that concept enabled our present form of mass society, with specialization of services and various levels of socio-economic stratification. But it doesn't give life meaning... |

Vas, before I posted the thread I made up a random list of 10 persons I thought very plausible to be mentioned. Your candidate was one of them. One down nine to go.

No worries, Vas. Although not on my list, he was a rather good looking lad.
