Arguments about whether heroes in sctence are "great men" or products of their culture rest on a false dichotomy created, in part, by the participants themselves. History may be modeled as a contingency matrix—a massively conditioned and crucially dependent multitude of linkages across space and time. The hero is molded into, and helps to mold the shape of, those connections. A hero in history is a great individual who altered history's contingencies irreversibly. Darwin and Freud provide historical case studies to understand the origin of the hero in science
