While the idea is great, this web page is pretty low effort. Check the facts for 1950 - they are the same as for the 90's.

It's also weak on the sources. Like, a Vox article, really?

Vox is kind of like Wikipedia in the sense that you need to follow-up on their sources.

Yeah, you pick the 1940's and gives the human genome one. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure they weren't teaching that in high school considering wasn't even a word until 1920

Probably better off just reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions More concise

Only if you went to school in the USA.
