"two of our own species [discovered calculus]"..? Which two species are those? I assume by "own own" you mean Terran species, and one of them is Homo Sapiens, which is the other one? Really curious...

Leibniz and Newton. Two [members] of our own species.

Probably Homo Econimus. If Homo Econimus is good at one thing, it's math, to the exclusion of pretty much everything else.
