No need for genius


"The question is whether the broad pattern of world history would have been altered significantly if some genius inventor had not been born at a particular place and time. The answer is clear: there has never been any such person. All recognized famous inventors had capable predecessors and successors." (Diamond, Guns, Germs and Steel, p. 245)
