Not just people, the minds of people. Which is obviously a far more interesting subject then 'just' people. Specially if we would examine how exactly it works🙂

„Dicebat Bernardus Carnotensis nos esse quasi nanos gigantum umeris insidentes, ut possimus plura eis et remotiora videre, non utique proprii visus acumine, aut eminentia corporis, sed quia in altum subvehimur et extollimur magnitudine gigantea“
Johannes von Salisbury: Metalogicon 3,4,46-50

Thank you for pointing that out. I only knew the quote attributed to Newton
