16. Darwin is perhaps the most important thinker ever, IMO.

Darwinian theories about physical traits set off the first tidal wave; Darwinian theories about psychological traits will set off the second.
500 years from now, scientists will look back and see Origin of Species as not just an important moment in history, but as a hard dividing line between an era of myth and an era of reason.
