Last Updated: 9:01am GMT 30/10/2007
British geniuses feature heavily in a recent list that notes the greatest living thinkers of our time - proportionately more than any other country.
The top 101 living geniuses was compiled by a panel of six experts in creativity and innovation from Creators Synectics, a global consultants firm.
The company emailed 4,000 Britons this summer and asked them to nominate up to 10 living people who they considered geniuses.
Each genius was then awarded scores out of ten against criteria which included: paradigm shifting; popular acclaim; intellectual power; achievement and cultural importance.
