Embracing diversity In the early 1990s, a similar poll was conducted in France. The top two vote-getters were a homeless social activist priest and Jacques Cousteau, a maverick oceanographer who had devoted his life to studying the ocean despite lacking a university degree.
一九九○年代初期，法國也曾舉辦過類似的票選活動，結果顯示排名前兩位的，一個是為無住屋人民爭取權益的精神領袖天主教老神父，另一位是畢生從事海洋探險，卻未獲任何學位的非主流海洋學家。
