Do you remember the song "We are the World"?

I think that would make him a great contributor to the human race. And as a composer and dancer the contributions he gave of his talent in inspiration is evidenced by so many people saying he influenced them to dance, to compose to sing or how to just try and be a better person after hearing the song "Man in the Mirror".

These are just my guesses as to why I think he is a contributor to the human race.
