52 People Throughout History Who Were Not Given Credit For Their Contributions

It seems like everywhere you look, Wikipedia is filled with Mothers and Fathers, each claiming to have laid the foundations for some important thing. Often, you can even find multiple people claiming the same title, even if they lived in different countries and centuries apart.
