Imagine a scientist hypothesizes that Neanderthals did exist in southern Africa as well as Europe. Everyone laughs at him and no one will fund his expedition to search for remains. He happens to be wealthy and funds it himself. He and his team scour around, dig deep, keep at it and eventually uncover fossilized remains of Neanderthals in the southern tip of Africa. Should he be credited for the discovery despite not following the scientific method?
