Who peer reviewed Anaximander? Archimedes? Euclid? Who reviewed the work of the nameless genius who invented the bow and arrow?
Your point is wrong. Flat wrong.

Seriously, dude? You think Euclid worked alone? You think Euclid did not ask other mathematicians (most of which are presumably unknown today) what they think about his work before publishing it? You think that scientists in ancient times were acting like cranks today, bombarding ignorant people with controversial statetements they don't know how to evaluate?
