    In related news, 100% of scientists who have ever died are dead today.

    I doubt that. Science and philosophy used to be considered very closely related. Many people we think of as philosophers were really both scientists and philosophers in their time.

      Yeah, an awful lot of ancient civilizations knew an awful lot about astronomy and presumably it wasn’t all just dictated to them on clay tablets by Ishtar or whoever

    I guess that depends on how you define a scientist. I’m sure even pre-historic tribes had members that were smarter than others and like to study things and make inventions.
