    Few individuals can be said to have had a strong impact on an entire millennium. True, figures like Jesus and Paul had such an enormous impact on human history but exceedingly few can really compete on that level.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Myself.....I was thinking of Leonardo Da Vinci. Able to not only influence man, but countries and an entire planet. A few steps ahead of Einstein I would say.

    Newton's probably had more influence than Einstein.

    Still I don't think Newton was on the ground Da Vinci was.

    Althought Einstein had the benefit of modernization and technology over that of Newton. At least in being able to reach out all over the planet.

    Alexander the Great. He brought Greek thought to much of the known world.

    Columbus comes to mind. His voyages helped inaugurate a massive and ongoing exchange not just of ideas but of people, plant, and animals. Latin America was transformed not just by the decline of the indigenous civilizations but also by the transformation of the land.
