Influential how Elmud,? his magazines had no affect/effect on me, while many of the great people in history did

maybe you're right alan. We'll stick with positive influence.

@Elmud,

The most influential person would have to be the first human.. since the human race is like an oak tree that came from that acorn.

I'm not sure how that works, though. Is Homo Sapiens supposed to have come from a mutation?

@Elmud,

No - species are only distinguishable through benefit of hindsight.

In reality, there was no first human - but a population of things that were once something so close to being human that the distinction would have been already largely irrelevent, and members of that population went on to form a poulation of humans.

Many (if not most, if not all) humans alive today would be more genetically distinct from that population than that population were from their parents.

@Elmud,

The most influential person in history was Jesus!

It would be nice if that were true alan.

@Elmud,

Playboy has been an extremely influential publication - from political to social, there was a time when the magazine was must read.

Billions of people in the world have been born and died without even having ever having heard of Jesus, much less having been influenced by Jesus.

@kennethamy,

Yes but consider how many people have been butchered either in the name of Christianity or by those who purport to practise it.

Yes. But it is hard for me to see any connection.

Not for me!! never!!

@Alan McDougall,

Oh, Alan, Playboy has most certainly influenced you. It is essentially impossible to live in the modern, developed world without Playboy having a significant influence upon your life given the magazine's influence on social mores, humor, literature, ect.

I thought that the magazine played an extremely important role in the dehumanization of women,,and men. Without its influence,,I'm certain that we would have spent much less time looking at each other as objects,,and more time percieving each other as human beings.

And billions have heard of him both from a positive and negative perceptive. This thread is about most influential person in history not the barbarity of religion, which I accept as true. I still maintain Jesus is that person However, Mohammed might be more influential

I personally object to mohammed being influential. From what I have read he just seems like a warmonger who loved violent solutions to difficult situations but sent others to their demise and cowardly hid himself to avoid being killed. It's easy to mislead others into doom. I think his following is nothing but a massively inflated cult of the moon.

@Elmud,

Who's the most ifluential of all time? I don't know, there are too many to choose from.

Who's the most influential in the 20th century in the US and possibly as a consequence, the world, Edward Bernays.....sadly.
