Scientific Innovation

B. It seems that the lone inventor in most fields has been replaced by the group.
A. But more often than we realize the original brilliant idea is still the product of one man’s genius.
B. He may, however, live in a group environment, and have the advantage of the scientific and intellectual contacts that come from working with a large group of people.
