As I was scrolling down, I was thinking of Hitler also. No single man has so shaped how we reign in leaders, and interact amongst each other. His vision of people proved influential for almost every aspect of our modern culture. In that we all now knew what NEVER to do or let happen again. Man's inhumanity to man has never been so personified, and chances are slim that humanity, from the lessons learned of Hitler, will ever allow such a monster to wield so much power.
Gutenburg, is definatley on the list. As are the Wright Brothers, and who ever invented the internal combustion engine. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha too. Ghandi and Mother Theresa certainly fit the bill.
These two cats are pretty importatant too:
Lucy, 3.5 million years old, and the recent discovery Ramides, 4.4 million years old hominid fossil, are discovered in Haddar, along the Awash River. They completed the missing link between Apes and men.
I think though that King John at Runnymede on June 15, 1215 takes the cake. This is when the subjects of King John were placed under the rules of liberty, and limits of the state outlined in the Magna Carta.
