In genius rankings, top 1000 geniuses refers to the greatest one-thousand autodidacts, brains, brights, curiosos, creators, detectives, erudites, Faustians, free thinkers, geniuses — middle ages geniuses, certified geniuses, geniuses' geniuses (e.g. shoulder geniuses, genius recognizes genius), universal geniuses, last universal geniuses, epicenter geniuses, female geniuses, posthumous geniuses, musical geniuses, artistic geniuses, political geniuses — intellects, "intellectual gods" (e.g. Pythagoras (Ѻ), Empedocles, Gibbs, Maxwell, etc.), i.e. people whose work was thought divine, know-it-alls, last persons to know everything, minds, oracles, polymaths, prodigies, paradigm changers, paradox solvers, revolutionary starters, radicals, recondites, sages, savants, seers, sleuths, zeniths of knowledge, among other epitaphs, categories, and characterizers, of all time, specifically from 200,000 years ago, when humans, as a distinct species or chemical species (as top geniuses would say), arose out of the East African Rift Valley, to the present, albeit in "historical person" retrospect sense (see: number of people who have existed), i.e. this listing does not include "existive" geniuses, i.e. living (in defunct speak) people (see: genius IQs existive), ranked by real-time IQ (left column, below), a modern retrospect knowledge gauged, meta-analysis based IQ, by “relative brightness or intellect” (Cox, 1926), in short. Top one-thousand minds of this nature have a rarity of 1 in 90 million people. Below are the first tier greatest geniuses of all time, numbers 1 to 100.

Overview
This greatest 1000 geniuses ranking page is a ten-part (100 geniuses per wiki page) expansion of the forerunner one-page circa 430 person genius IQs listing (2014), which itself is a precipitate of the 15 person IQ:200+ rankings (2008) (see: chronology). [N1] This ranked 1000 top geniuses listing, in short, is work-in-progress, in time-adjusting, meta-analysis combined and expanded re-ranking of the: genius IQs (421 people) + candidates (74 individuals), Terman IQs (1918), Cox IQs [301 geniuses] (1924), Buzan IQs [100 geniuses] (1994), along with minds from the: Cattell 1000 (1894), Gottlieb 1000 (1998), Murray 4000 (2003), Platt IQs [14 geniuses] (1960), Walberg IQs (1981), Simonton IQs [e.g. 40+ President IQs] (2006), Michael IQs [51 geniuses] (2008), among other genius ranker IQ calculations, IQ:200+ (40 individuals) + candidates (two dozen), IQ:225+ (10 individuals), IQ:150+ women (26 individuals), Glenn 20 greatest minds, Stokes 100 essential thinkers, Landau genius scale, the 121 main "cities" (minds) of Porter's 1939 Map of Physics, etc., plus others in the genius studies subpages, e.g. greatest physicist ever, greatest chemist ever, greatest philosopher ever, greatest mathematician ever, etc., plus genius rankings (meta-analysis), plus new listings, such as: Ranker greatest minds of all time (1,500+ people), Perry 80, etc. [N1]

The left column IQ is an up-to-date gauged ranking of each genius’ "real IQ" (

), i.e. an IQ (see: IQ key) that matches up with reality, as compared to: feigned IQs, fake IQs, inflated IQs, paper IQs, or miscalculated IQs, etc., on the over-estimated end, and mislabeled geniuses and IQ tests, on the under-estimated end, as best data available to sensory input furnishes. In Hmolpedia articles, specifically in existographies (biographies), i.e. existive-graphies of people, the notation (IQ:number|rank), e.g. Da Vinci (IQ:200|#7), for top 1000 range geniuses, is a shorthand notation code employed to quickly indicated the said genius' real IQ and ranking position, in meta-analysis terms; the modifiers: ±, ↑, ↓, from some geniuses, e.g. William Gilbert (IQ:185±|#75), indicates, generally, that they lack established IQ estimates, according to which their estimated IQ (±) and or ranking position (↑, ↓) are in the adjustive stage, meaning their work is being processed.

Here it is we are born, bred, and live, and yet we view these things with an almost entire absence of wonder to ourselves respecting the way in which all this happens. So small, indeed, is our wonder, that we are never taken by surprise; and I do think that, to a young person of ten, fifteen or twenty years of age, perhaps the first sight of a cataract or a mountain would occasion him more surprise than he had ever felt concerning the means of his own existence: How he came here; how he lives; by what means he stands upright; and through what means he moves about from place to place. We come into this world, we live, and depart from it, without our thoughts being called specifically to consider how all this takes place; and were it not for the exertions of some few inquiring minds, who have looked into these things, and ascertained the very beautiful laws and conditions by which we do live and stand upon the earth, we should hardly be aware that there was anything wonderful in it.” — Michael Faraday (1859), On the Various Forces of Matter known for: the basic principle of the electric motor, generator, induction coil, and transformer; work in chemistry; electromagnetic induction, largely self-taught through reading of books at a bindery he worked at as a child; intellectual giant to Einstein.

“This [top 1000 geniuses] site is very good. Interestingly, outside Goethe and Leonardo da Vinci, most of the smartest on the list are physical [GPE] or mathematical [GME]. So, it is not mistaken the conception that studying physics or mathematics is the type of study that most requires intelligence to be undertaken [see: college degrees by intellectual difficulty]. only below are philosophers and writers begin to appear. But I was surprised that there are no such genius composers as Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, and Wagner, or painters and sculptors, like Michelangelo, Renoir, and Van Gogh in the top 100. I cannot know which of the IQ indicators is the most reliable. I think the (see: real IQ) presented is a good estimate. Note that above 180, which is taken as the lower limit of genius, there are only 209 people, which shows the rarity of genius, considering that more than twenty billion human beings must have been born [see: number of people who have existed]. Of course, many are not on the list because they were not prominent people.”

Notes
N1. (a) This genius ranking list originated, in short, when Thims, in the in the late 1990s, began collecting all known individuals cited with IQs of 200 or over, and thereafter, in the period 17 Feb 2010 and 29 Sep 2010, was "forced" (no metaphor intended; which, of course, is the "point" [no metaphor intended, again], compare: pointlessness (Weinberg model) vs pointfullness models (e.g. Gates model) of existence, of Hmolpedia, into “re-ranking geniuses”, when, in particular, he found the curious cases of forced prodigy Adragon de Mello, cited with an IQ cited at 400 (calculated by his father), who for seven months was added to position #1, during which time re-ranking became apparent, e.g. that it is obvious that de Mello is not TWICE as smart as Newton, if we let their respectively "cited IQs" determine their ranked geniuses listing (see: list chronology).
(b) This specific page, then entitled "top 500 geniuses" was started at the point (Jan 2014) when the genius IQs page was at the 460+ geniuses level, i.e. 421 (listed) + 39 (candidates page), but getting difficult to edit, per wiki editing capabilities, i.e. extreme slowness (upwards of 45s wait time per edit) as one continuous page, not to mention page crashes.
(c) on 23 Nov 2017, at the point when the list was pushing the 540+ geniuses level, on now six wiki pages, the entire list was changed from the "top 500 geniuses" to the "top 1000 geniuses". This expanded spreading allows for more accurate fitting of where to fit geniuses like Evariste Galois (1811-1832), when unranked but known as: (RGM:612|1,310+) [GME]; Glenn 20 greatest minds (1996); ranked as “world’s 50 smartest teenagers” (2014) (Ѻ); Quora compared (Ѻ) to Terence Tao (2016), a top ranked existive genius (see: genius IQs existive), to historical geniuses like Adrien Legendre, who he read at age 14, and Joseph Lagrange (IQ:190|#24), who he read at age 15.
(d) The re-naming, to note, reset the Facebook like count (then at 75) to zero (see: like rankings)

Libb, I will send you an email soon, a message which I think shall greatly please you.

And Friend, read the next part of this post too; for I transmit this brief message to you alone, in Truth, and I use this fool to further communicate to you only because you did not delete their vitriolic posts, and chose to respond to the person. Thus, you indicate that we might reap even more benefit from this fool, and should use the opportunity that the fool gave us. We are indeed masters of turning opposition into achievement.

Let me begin thus, then. IQ is not the only part of existence in which I excel. Libb is more civilized than me, and has endured less suffering than I have, and he is smarter than I.

However, I have a higher Personal Physical Capacity than Libb. That means I am stronger and faster, and have been more violent. I am not merely the Warrior, but the best Warrior -- a Warrior who loves peace, yet will violently eradicate evil. InderJIT is to be a Master in the *JEET Kune Do* of my Grandmaster Bruce Lee.

Libb will also have a lower Social Classification than I; for I am destined to continue directly changing Civilization.

Lastly, Mr. Thims and I have a very similar Life-force or Spirit. He directed this massively into IQ, whereas I shall divide it more evenly into IQ, SC, PPC. The fifth Analysis, FAR, I will not discuss here.

Thims is content to argue with you, anonymous poster, if he believes it shall help maintain his IQ. I, however, am of a different type -- more aristocratic and more powerful. Fool, you insult me. Such a message alone merits law enforcement (slander of a public figure), perhaps from officials in the justice departments of the *United Nations*. Yet I am wise, and I realize that what you do is of no consequence. Learn respect for your superiors, or prepare for very real consequences. Do not slander this website's Creator, nor I, for whom it was Created.

10- Confucius (he's not a scientific genius, but he's a "conduct of life" genius: he has indicated the correct way for a successful life)
9- Michelangelo (David is the greatest work of art ever, his dominion over art is total)
8- Goethe (Of course, he did a lot of things...)
7- Edison (He created the XX century, not Tesla)
6- Watt (Basically, he created the whole modern world)
5- Lavoisier (Some geniuses develop theories without demonstrating it; others applay other's theories without giving any theorical contributions; but Lavoisier is the only indisputable genius: he invented chemistry, he theorized, demonstrated, applied, all by himself)
4- Leonardo (A totally theorical genius, little of what he thought was feasible, but his life is the greates example among all)
3- Leibniz (He gave fondamental contributions to philosophy - monadism -, mathmatics - calculus -, engineering - stepped reckoner -, linguistics - characteristica universalis -, and more)
2- Newton (Obvious, but he was irrational, he belived in alchemy - rejected by Leibniz - and in sacred scriptures)
1- Aristotle (His formal logic is the key of western world; his Nicomachean Ethics is the basis of a satisfying life; and he has contributed to all sciences and humanities, intuing elements of zoology confirmed only 2000 years later)
