     Contributions of early Chinese scientists may excead those of any other group. By 200 B.C., when the Han dynasty superseeded the Qin dynasty, Chinese ships already had rudders—more than one thousand years before European ships had rudders. China's invention of paper preseded that of Egypt by 800 years. Long before the European Dark Ages had receeded, the Chinese had already created compasses, matches, and gunpowder. The succeding years brought inventions such as the bicycle chain drive (China—976; Europe—1770) and movable type (China—1041; Europe—1450).
