Echosoftom 3 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 The long term affects of both mens contributions are still influential in present society. But, I chose Darwin because I felt his contributions impacted mankind and continue to do so. His teachings are still being studied and debated today.

Pettyjunkie 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I said Darwin because he has had an impact on the whole world where as Abe only on our country. Both have made huge impacts though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieB 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I said Darwin, only because his impact was and still is worldwide. But honestly, if Abraham Lincoln had not held the US together after the Civil War, I wonder what kind of world we would be living in today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dynabeat Tim 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Darwin.....he's a international personality, and his findings or opinions impacted mankind, whereas I believe Lincoln's impact was more national, 'cept if you look upon what would've happened had the US became 2 country's. There may had been more strife, or less strife, possibly Germany would've won WW1 or WW2, or maybe there would've never been a WW2 had they won WW 1 so who knows. It boggles the mind. What would've happened if after the Civil War all slaves were returned to Africa ( as some wanted ) ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beamish 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Have to agree that Darwin's influence is greater world-wide, although I'm sure a lot of people in this country may feel that Lincoln's influence impacts them more on a practical level.
