Who would you consider to be the most important person to ever live on this planet?

I'd like to read who is regarded as the Worlds Most Important??
The Most Important Briton to Ever Live?
The Most Important American to Ever Live?
Feel free to join in with Most Important Person from New Zealand, Burma, Equador (Or wherever your point of origin or habitation may be.

I consider Gaius Julius Caesar as the person who made the greatest impression and effected the most change during the course of an individuals lifetime.
At his birth Rome, the most powerful state in the West, was a rabidly anti-Monarchy, Republic.
By the time of his death he was King of the Roman Empire in everything but name, He may have lacked the title but he had the power of a King and, after a short conflict to mop away the few remaining Republicans, the heirs of Caesar fought it out to succeed him as the absolute ruler of the Roman Empire.
G J Caesar was also the first person to be named in British history.

Even now we have the months JULY and AUGUST named for Julius and Augustus Caesar.
The last two thousand years of history for Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Turkey, Albania, Romania, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Libya (and more) have foundations that were lade, to a greater or lesser extent, by the personal authority and rule of Julius Caesar.

Arguably Gavrilo Princip, the dude who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife which ignited WW1. Without that single action committed on June 28, 1914, the world would be a much different place than it is today. Dan Carlin has a great series about WW1 called "Blueprints for Armageddon" on his hardcore history podcast, here's the first episode; http://podbay.fm/show/173001861/e/1383117135?autostart=1

Gaius Marius was the one who financed Gaius Julius Ceasar The Younger on his first tottering steps up the Cursus Honorum, and educated that callow youth in the nature dignitas and auctoritas.

without Gaius Marius, Gaius Julius Caesar would have been a nobody, without even an equestrian's holdings, thus in addition to his own impressive achievements, (elected Consul a record 7 times, instituted military and land reforms that preserved the republic despite the machinations of the power hungry radicals, defended rome from more enemies than any other general, declared "The Third Founder Of Rome), Gaius Marius subsumes all of Gaius Julius Caesar's accomplishments under his own paradigm.

aw snap! Historied!

It's been my experience that no matter how "great" any single person is, there's always a thousand other assholes that manage to fuck up any "good" said individual might have done in the first place.

That's one of the biggest disputes in human history

It's like the global warming dispute.

We 100% know jesus, muhammad, and Abraham were real. Moses is the only one that has an ounce of doubt.

There is very good, extra religious evidence for it.

It isn't a dispute outside of the dipshit community.

Good question.

I really don't know. Siddhārtha Gautama? I think a solid argument could be made, but not by me.

It's completely opposite from the "global warming dispute" (not a dispute)
