Prediction of ``anyons'', often attributed exclusively to Wilczek, came first from Leinaas & Myrheim in 1977, and independently from Goldin, Menikoff, & Sharp in 1980-81. In 2020, experimentalists successfully created anyonic excitations. This paper discusses why the possibility of quantum particles in two-dimensional space with intermediate exchange statistics eluded physicists for so long after bosons and fermions were understood. The history suggests ideas for the preparation of future researchers. I conclude by addressing failures to attribute scientific achievements accurately. Such practices disproportionately hurt women and minorities in physics, and are harmful to science.

Characterizing gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Duality in unusual ordering with spontaneously broken generalized symmetries
Gapped phases dual to massless RG flows in 2D CFTs exhibit unusual ordering via spontaneous breaking of non-group-like symmetries and are characterized using smeared boundary CFTs applied to smeared Ishibashi states.

Braided quantum mechanics and Majorana qubits at third root of unity: a color Heisenberg-Lie (super)algebra framework
Color Heisenberg-Lie (super)algebras graded by Z3×Z3 provide a unified framework for mixed-bracket parabosons and parafermions, reproducing s=3,6 braided Majorana qubit truncations and a new two-particle density signature.

Higher Superspace Supergravity and its IR-Completions
11D supergravity, its toroidal reductions, and M5-brane worldvolume flux are equivalent to Bianchi identities in characteristic L∞-algebras (lS4, cyc(lS4), tor(lS4), lS4S7), whose IR completions are classified by flux...
