Years ago, I created a series of memes focused on inventions attributed to white men and women. (A white woman, Margaret A. Wilcox, invented the car heater, and another woman, Mary Anderson, invented the windshield wiper.) The point was to emphasize that white people enhance the lives of all humanity. What’s more, as the world’s white population diminishes, so will its innovative contributions.

In his book, Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950, Charles Murray argues that the vast majority of documented scientific and cultural accomplishments (which include many famous inventions and innovations) were produced in Europe and North America, with one commonly cited claim being that about 97 % of achievements in his scientific “inventories” occurred in these Western regions.

Wikipedia says, “Murray ranks the leading 4,000 innovators in several fields of human accomplishment from 800 BC to 1950. In each field Murray identifies a number of sources (leading encyclopedias, histories and surveys) providing information about the leading figures in the field. The rankings are made from information in these sources. A raw score is determined based on how many sources mention and on how much space in each source is devoted to a person. Then these raw scores are normalized so that the lowest score is 1 and the highest score is 100. The resulting scores are called ‘Index Scores’.”
Inventors of fake history claim a white British soldier intentionally gave a blanket contaminated with the smallpox virus to Indians, creating an epidemic that killed countless thousands. True history informs us that English physician Edward Jenner discovered the smallpox vaccine in 1796, saving the lives of countless millions and their progeny.
From medical science to music, the world would be a much darker place without the light of white innovation.
Here’s a very brief overview.
The Dawn of Modern Innovation: Printing and Exploration (15th–17th Centuries)
The foundation of modern Western technological dominance began with Johannes Gutenberg’s movable-type printing press around 1450 in Germany. This invention democratized knowledge, enabling mass production of books and fueling the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution.
Optical breakthroughs followed: the compound microscope (1590s, Netherlands, attributed to Zacharias Janssen) and telescope (1608, Hans Lippershey, Netherlands). Galileo Galilei’s refinements to the telescope in 1609 revolutionized astronomy, supporting heliocentrism.
The Scientific Revolution and Early Mechanization (17th–18th Centuries)
The 17th century saw tools for precise measurement, like the pendulum clock (1656, Christiaan Huygens, Netherlands) and barometer (1643, Evangelista Torricelli, Italy). These advanced navigation and science.
The Industrial Revolution ignited in Britain with James Watt’s improved the steam engine (1760s), transforming energy use and powering factories, railways, and ships.
Electricity and Communication (19th Century)
The 19th century brought electrification and instant communication. Thomas Edison’s practical incandescent light bulb (1879, USA) illuminated the world, extending productive hours.
Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone (1876, USA/Scotland) and Karl Benz’s automobile (1885, Germany) connected people and shrank distances.
Flight and Digital Age (20th–21st Centuries)
The Wright brothers’ powered airplane (1903, USA) conquered the skies, leading to modern aviation, eventually putting a man on the moon and satellites in the sky. If you believe the moon landing was a hoax (I don’t), feel free to let me know in the comments.
Computing advanced with Alan Turing’s foundational work (1930s, UK) and the transistor (1947, USA). Tim Berners-Lee (above), credited with inventing the World Wide Web (1989, UK/Switzerland), globalized information. If you’re reading this, thank a guy named Tim.
The smartphone, exemplified by Apple’s iPhone (2007, USA), integrated these technologies into daily life. iPhone inventor Steve Jobs was half Syrian, by the way.
Western nations—primarily Europe and North America—drove these innovative advances through scientific inquiry and industrial investment, that is, free-market capitalism. Their impact spans global progress in knowledge, economy, and connectivity.
Look around you. If what you see was not created by nature, it was likely invented by white people.
