George Washington Carver, I hope you've heard of him. He is known for all the things he did with peanuts, but he also worked with soybeans, peacans,and sweet potatoes. He revolutionized agriculture in the south (they grew mostly cotton) by developing a crop rotation method. One year, plant soybeans and peas, the next year plant cotton. This enriched the soil and made better crops. George invented a lot of things, but he only got 3 patents, and most of his work he did just for mankind. Here's a list of some of his inventions:
adhesives axle grease bleach, buttermilk
chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee
linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer
metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement
shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber
talcum powder, and wood stain.
Think of how different our world would be without some of those products. All from one brotha.
