Homo erectus, though; so I'm not sure that counts if 'person' means Homo sapiens.
But that's worked tools. There's every reason to believe using unworked stone tools is an inherent trait in hominids given that it's also been observed in some of the modern great apes.

any species that is phylum (i think that's what it's called) Homo is human.

Genus Homo. Our phylum is Chordata, meaning we're chordates. "A chordate (/ˈkɔːrdeɪt/) is an animal of the phylum Chordata. During some period of their life cycle, chordates possess a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail: these four anatomical features define this phylum. Chordates are also bilaterally symmetric, and have a coelom, metameric segmentation, and circulatory system." This will be on the test.

As well you should have. People sometimes trash talk it, but Wikipedia is a boon to humankind. All I did was look up "Homo" and there it was, the scientific classification of humans, from kingdom and phylum on down to all the species.

Ghandi? Is it because of his letter to Hitler?

Glorious Hong Kong wrote:Karl Marx: Inadvertently inspired an ideology that has directly resulted in the deaths of tens, possibly hundreds, of millions of people due to misguided policies, but also indirectly inspired more moderate offshoots such as social democracy and social liberalism in direct response to the excesses of the millenarian communist project, giving the world public holidays and millions of people universal healthcare and a social safety net.
Emperor Napoleon: Waged an epic war of conquest and subjugation across Europe, but also seeded a degree of republicanism and political modernity at the same time.
Christopher Columbus: "Discovered" the Americas, paving the way for the European colonization of the Western Hemisphere and the rise of the United States of America, but also enslaved the natives and introduced a whole profusion of deadly diseases to which the natives had no immunity.
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Implemented the New Deal and defeated Imperial Japan and, with the aid of its Soviet and Western European allies, Nazi Germany, consequently reviving America's battered economy to pre-Wall Street Crash levels and transforming a former Third World shithole (by today's standards) into the richest and most powerful country in the world and a beacon of freedom and democracy for millions of people around the world to this very day, but also detained Japanese-Americans in internment camps throughout the duration of the Japanese-American Pacific War (1941-45), attempted to pack the Supreme Court with yes-men, and birthed a realist, interventionist, Cold War-era foreign policy that consisted of toppling democratically-elected governments and propping up authoritarian capitalist dictatorships.
Chiang Kai-shek: Fascist, later conservative dictator who brutally crushed all opposition to his rule and lost the Chinese Civil War to the fucking CCP of all people, but subsequently paved the way for a more democratic and independent Taiwan upon his death in 1975. And he did fight against communism and Japanese imperialism.
Jesus Christ: Like Marx, he gave rise to a religion that, like Islam and communism, is directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Didn't mean it. Also inadvertently left behind a rich and lasting cultural legacy that persists to this very day in the form of churches, cathedrals, the Holy Bible, and other cultural artifacts both tangible and intangible. Partly responsible for Christmas (although much of it was appropriated from pagan traditions).
Numerous controversial world leaders:
Mohammed Ali Jinnah
David Ben-Gurion
Lee Kuan Yew
Sun Yat-sen
Winston Churchill
Sukarno
John F. Kennedy
Barack Obama
Donald Trump
Narendra Modi
VERDICT:
Most controversial person in history: I'm divided between Karl Marx and Jesus Christ. Communism and social democracy have had a far greater impact in modern times, but Christianity has existed for nearly two millennia.
Most controversial person alive today: Donald Trump. Not the kindest person in existence, but a means to an end.
