Anaximander

Thus Anaximander, an original but vague thinker, prepared the way for Pythagoras.

Anaximander, the disciple of Thales, invented maps and globes; born about 610 B.C.

Anaximander, who lived six centuries before Christ, advocated the assumption.

Not merely Thales, but his followers and disciples, Anaximander and Anaximenes, were born there.

Anaximander also developed a striking theory about the origin and evolution of living beings.
