I hoped somebody would get tricked into providing such a list. Thank you. If you have a look through it, it's a bunch of trivial stuff mostly from 1000 years ago and more. Many wastrels think their ancestry confers status on them. It doesn't. What their grandfathers or great great great... great grandfathers did has nothing to do with the here and now [note not mothers who achieve even less than Arabs and Moslems - no I don't have data for that, it's a wild claim which might be false]. While the "Christian" world was hacking and killing each other on a grander scale than the Moslems are doing now, it's not hard to see how Moslems were able to lead in many areas. But those lists should not be created. It's like New Zealand's pathetic attempts to show how inventive we are. We have the Buzzy Bee and number 8 fence wire [which was no doubt really invented in Australia or USA]. Sure, Rutherford split the atom, a century ago. It would have been more impressive if he'd built an atomic bomb. "Negro" inventions, "Women" inventions, "Arab" inventions ... all pathetic attempts at self-veneration. My guess is that the most inventive people are male homosexual Ashkenazi Jews. I'd like to see that list. Heterosexuals lack a certain zest [being weighed down with wife, children and mortgage is enough to do them in even if they do have the same get up and go as homosexuals - which is no doubt why the spectacular successes are by males in their early to mid 20s].
