Albert Einstein was pretty bright. So is Edward Witten, the mathematical or theoretical (take your choice) physicist who is at the cutting edge of string theory. His current assignment is at the Institute for Advanced Study. You remember that place. Albert Einstein worked out of there, as did John von Neumann and Kurt Gödel back in the day. J. Robert Oppenheimer, Freeman Dyson, and others did too, and all were really, really smart. Stephen Hawking is recognized as being very bright, and others could be named.
It is difficult to say who the most intelligent man who ever lived is. IQ alone is not a meaningful measure, if it is meaningful at all for this. When the exact nature of intelligence cannot be specified, how can it be measured? You cannot quantify something you cannot qualify.

Has anyone given thought to Adam, the first person God made? Adam named all of the animals, plant life etc. After he named all of these he would have been able to recall the names of each. Perhaps similar to Psalms 147:4 where the Lord says that he knows the number of the stars and calls them all by name.
The most intelligent man who ever lived may have been: Friedrich Nietzsche, Leonardo da Vinci, John von Neumann, Archimedes, Isaac Newton, al-Khowarizmi, Aristotle, Enrico Fermi.
no one is most genius or intelligent than Leonardo da vinci... he was a architect, painter,scientist,engineer etc.. the most genius ever lived...
