The US, Japan, and China come to mind. If you go further back Italy, Greece, Egypt, Persia. As long as there is a drive to make life better and a country has a certain level of prosperity, there'll be more inventors there.

| somchaiq (121) | 1 year ago | You started your Comment with " We are just smarter...." So You are a German?
You are right that many other countries have Inventors, like Thomas Edison, Martin Cooper (Mobile Phone) or Alexander Graham Bell.
The Wright Brothers invented a motor driven Plane. Wow!!! The Motor was invented by german, the airplane was invented by german. They only fixed it together. So their Invention is based on Germans again.
Just pick another Invention and research, somewhere at the beginning you mostly will find a german brain. | |
