Somali contribution to science

[Merca]

Is there any Somali that have contributed to modern science? I've read a lot about the contributions done by the Muslims (Arabs) in the Middle east, and would like to know if any Somali has contributed to the science we know of today.

Not that I know of.
We know so little about our history in general that we likely don't know about any systems that we probably pioneered or invented. Of course I might just be uninformed about science in Somalia's history, but there's so much missing out of our history books that we kind of just have to fill in the gaps.

So true, I wish to know more about our history when it comes to scientific contributions.

The closest we got to modern science was finding the cure of the contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in other words the worse disease that could happen to a camel! God bless the she-camel Maandeeq

We domesticated the camel (the ship of the Desert) first which allowed ideas to travel through the deserts.

Somalis built the tallest structure of the Ancient world. The Wargaade Wall was 230m (750ft) tall while the Great Pyramid is only 139m (482ft) tall. This is according to Wikipedia.

Must haji Ismail Galal :A prolific writer, Galal was also among the foremost authorities on the Somali astrological, meteorological and calendrical systems. He devoted two major works to traditional Somali science, both of which are regarded as classics in Somali Studies.

After a long scholarly career, Galal died in 1980.

In his honour, the Somali Studies Association periodically presents the Musa Galaal Awardto Somalists whose work on Somali history and culture has earned distinction.
