I am reading a good book about moslim influence on science. Nice to read that our fellow muslims discovered things like pulmonary blood circulation and systemic blood circulation

Really?
Masha'Allah, wasn't aware of the influence on the circulatory system!, What's the title of the book?
Not many people realise the great impact Islam had on Science. The world's first scientist (who applied the system of experimental enquiry) was a muslim:ibn al-Haytham

it's a Dutch book i don't think it's translated into English. But the biggest surprise in that book was the fact that muslims were the first to write ( critical) biographies for the collection of hadeeth, it was a milestone in obtaining an objective look into history. The greek use to do it to but they use to exaggerate.
Union, lol i do agree with you, we need Somali inventors, but there are some somali scientists who discovered some kind of rare genes in Somali population

Apparently the first to compile and synthesise scientific knowledge from many lands (greeks etc) into books and then form readily accesible libraries too
