Giacomo Inaudi (13 October 1867[1] – 10 November 1950), also known as Jacques Inaudi in France, was an Italian calculating prodigy. He was born in Onorato, Piedmont, Italy. As a child he was a shepherd but showed aptitude for mental calculation. Inaudi's abilities attracted interest of showmen and he toured around the world. French scientists like Jean-Martin Charcot investigated his abilities, French astronomer Camille Flammarion praised him in strong terms, and Alfred Binet wrote a book on him. Inaudi would repeat the numbers he was given before he began his mental calculations.[2] Inaudi was referred to by the Nobel-prize-winning immunologist, Élie Metchnikoff (Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov), in his book [https://archive.org/details/naturemanstudie00mitcgoog The Nature of Man: Studies in Optimistic Philosophy] (1905). Metchnikoff regarded Inaudi as an example of a mutation, in the sense announced by the Dutch botanist Hugo de Vries (Die Mutationstheorie, Vol. 1, Leipzig, 1901), i.e. a sudden leap to a distinct new type that might be regarded as a new species. Metchnikoff argued that this kind of abrupt leap in evolution might explain how humans had emerged from apes and that Inaudi was proof that such a mutation was possible.[3] References1. ^Cnum.cnam.fr [4]2. ^{{cite journal|author=Nicholas, S.|author2=Gounden, Y.|author3=Levine, Z.|year=2011|title=The memory of two great mental calculators: Charcot and Binet's neglected 1893 experiments|journal=American Journal of Psychology|volume=124|issue=2|pages=235–242|doi=10.5406/amerjpsyc.124.2.0235}} 3. ^Metchnikoff, É., 1905.
