Sparks, John B.
John B. Sparks (1886 - December 22, 1949) was a chemical engineer, bacteriologist, and historian. Born in England, at some point in his life Sparks immigrated to the United States. He developed a fascination with culture, history, and the philosophies of other civilizations from a young age, which led him to create a series of three 'histomaps' concerning history, evolution, and religion. At the time of his death, Sparks was a director of Nestle's Milk Products Inc. in New York City. He married Dorothy C. Sparks with whom he had three children, one son and two daughters.

A real oddity, this is a colorful 1949 John B. Sparks infographic chart or 'histomap' of evolution. Tracing 'ten thousand million years' of history, the chart begins 'ten thousand million' years ago and follows the development of life on Earth. Coverage extends roughly from the creation of the 'Origin of the Earth' to the founding of the United Nations in 1945 and the 'Spread of Communism'. All editions then push speculatively into the 'future' as far as 1990. (more details)
