Leibniz and Newton were both geniuses, calculus was quite fascinating to me while in school. They both had bright minds

I would say Fermat invented differential calculus and Cavalieri integral calculus. Scratch that. Also in the mix were Kepler, Barrow, Gregory, Descartes, Wallis and others. Building calculus was the group effort of many people over many years.

Newton used his position to read the unpublished works of others, at the royal academy of science. He would then write his own ideas after reading, his own postulates and get them published. This is known fact often pushed aside by the establishment, aka UK crown influenced at the time. We use the Leibniz version, we do not use the Newton version. The answer is logically right there, Leibniz invented the method we use.

It came from EGYPT. They just opened it up to the European gaze, as if it were something new. Plagiarism of what was known and practiced in ancient Egypt.
