These are the greatest geniuses of all time

Who is the greatest genius of all time? US engineer Libb Thims believes he has found an answer to this question. Thims combined their IQ and impact on the world to create the top 40 of the brightest minds in history. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe took first place. The German poet prince demoted his compatriot Albert Einstein to second place. Italian savvy Leonardo da Vinci is in third place.

Thims’ rank is not undisputed

While the top three still seem relatively understandable, the places behind them sometimes seem arbitrary and a little too US-heavy. For example, Marie Curie, the first woman to win more than one Nobel Prize in Poland, ranks only 25th. Other influential academics like Stephen Hawking or Charles Darwin are completely absent.
