Another spooky fact. Every one of those scientists were hiding a spooky skeleton inside them.

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.

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.
