Well for the men, I'll throw in:
- Andrew Wiley (proved Fermat's last theorem, possibly the greatest
intellectual feat of all time.)
- John von Neuman (inventor of the computer, the ultimate society
assisting invention of man.)
- Mikhail Gorbachev (made the greatest and most important peace in the
history of mankind.)
- Charles Darwin (for discovering probably the most fundamental law
governing life.)
For the women its a little harder. The only one I can think of of truly
monumentus consequence is:
- Marie Curie (discovered radiation, whose applications to modern science
are too numerous to name.)
