But while Genghis is just a historic figure, Jesus still impacts the lives of roughly 30% of the worlds population today. And he did this by traveling less the 50 miles from where he was born and was only in the public like 4 years or so. And he did this over 1000 years befor Genghis and is still doing it 2000 years later. No other man that has ever lived can say this.

THAT is thanks to Constantine, not Jesus. if Constantine had chosen another religion to spread, we'd see that religion at those rates
and Ghengis connected Asia and Europe. his impact still lasts today, especially in the middle east and Med

I have to go with Thomas Midgley, Jr.
Key figure in the development of tetraethyllead and its use in gasoline as well as some of the first chlorofluorocarbons.
Ban on leaded petrol 'has cut crime rates around the world'
Midgley, according to environmental historian J. R. McNeill "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history."
He was known as a great inventor and well recieved during his lifetime, up until the effects of his works were known.
Ironically, another invention of his created with good intentions, a system of pulleys used to lift himself from bed due to a disease, strangled him to death.

I'm not one to downplay the role of Jesus and think he has a real role in this discussion, but literally every society from Vietnam to Hungary is still (strongly) shaped by what the Khans did.
