You are a time traveling terrorist. Your task is to cause as many human deaths as possible by terminating one historical individual. Who is your target?
Adam.
Norman Borlaug
By pure numbers, I think the clear winner would have to be Norman Borlaug.

Killing Napoleon.
Headlines in 2015: Billions commit suicide because sad that "there never was one famous Corsican generals to have taken one the entire world."

the MRCA of all life on earth
>all these people helping a terrorist
When this shows up in the ancient news, you'll be sorry.
>>360391
That doesn't mean life would exist. There'd just be a different MRCA.
>>360391
Then some other individual would have been the MRCA.
>>360081
Probably someone whose absence would leave a nuclear reactor in France on the eastern US unattended long enough to explode. Counting mostly on long range consequences here, cancer and shit.
>>360451
Chernobyl, 3 Mile Island, and Fukushima actually don't amount to much.

Are humanities people really this illiterate about our evolutionary history?
Sun Yat Sen. Try to make it look like something natural like cancer so he doesn't get martyred.
Alexander the Great before he conquered Asia.
Just imagine how many centuries later it world take until another conqueror of his caliber came around to unite the world under one empire. Man might not have even colonized other stars yet.
Stain. In autumn 1941. German victory in Russia would have led to hundreds of millions of deaths.

Julius Caesar. Just imagine if the world was dominated by the tyranny of the majority instead of glorious dictatorial rule. Rome would eventually crumble and collapse under it's own weight and administrative difficulties. They'd start killing each other all by themselves.

Come on guys it isn't that hard.
>>360765
A) Neither would think a single strike was due to the other.
B) Satellites would burn up in the atmosphere every quickly and they track those things.
C) That has nothing to do with the premise of the thread.
All around you fail.

Robert Koch,Alexander Fleming or Louis Pasteur

Adolf Hitler some time before May 1945, before he could nuke London, DC and Moscow simultaneously. We all know from the post-war trials that half the Nazi nuclear arms staff was already in negotiations to hand over Nazi nuclear technology to the Americans because a Jude had infiltrated as one of the scientists. Can you imagine the death toll if you were living in a multi-cultural world run by Jewish bankers?
>>360801
>german nukes
what the fuck are you rambling about?
If I wanted to fuck shit up I would have killed hitler in 1933, so Einstein never leaves germany because of Antisemitism, and thus never joins the US in the Manhattan Project, which never gains momentum because the Second World War never starts. Stalin invades the West but without nukes MAD allows the inevitable Cold War to become a hot war. And millions die.
Without Hitler, European history post 1933 would have been very different.
the guy who liked discovered some kinda way to make crops git more food so uh him cause he saved an estimated billion people, (most of them poor fucking niggers and chink farmers)
>>360081
Alexander Fleming, Jonas Salk or Louis Pasteur
>Fleming: No penicillin
>Salk: No polio vaccine
>Pasteur: No vaccination at all
>>360801
Get down from that high castle, man.
>>360827
Stalin was only a threat to Europe because WW2 gave him an excuse to create numerous satellite countries in eastern Europe. Without Hitler, no WW2.

Before Pasteur, didn't people vaccinate against smallpox by infecting them in ways that were rarely fatal?
>>360900
In Europe they actually found that milkmaids who had been exposed to cowpox were immune to smallpox, and centuries earlier in China they would put a powdered smallpox form into the noses of patients, in hopes of giving them immunity to the actual thing (5% fatality versus a 30% fatality for the real smallpox) so people had been working on immunities for a while.
>>360913
Also they tried to infect people in ways that didn't leave hideous scars, so it wasn't just about mortality.

Oh god that would actually be devastating. We'd all be saying sallam alaykum right now.

ITT: people who think shit can only ever be invented or done by one person.
answer: kill JFK during the Cuban missile crisis. Lyndon wanted to invade. Soviets wouldn't have even tried if they hadn't thought Kennedy was a puss, so doing it too much earlier doesn't work,
>>361202
I was gonna say Louis Pasteur but this is a pretty good one
Someone else would have invented Pasteurization, this was such a critical point and if it had fucked up, billions would have died
>>361137
Kennedy Drop
bomb Churchill around late '40- early '41. That way the tory's most pro-war leader is gone allowing for a weaker one or a labour PM to take charge and end the war.
Then Hitler takes over from here
