Yes, that's the way mathematics works. Progress happens incrementally from different contributors.
However the mathematicians don't usually go searching through colleagues private documents for sparks of inspiration, work through the night then claim the success as their own, denying contributions of others.
Time to lose the ego, or else you're just going to hurt yourself over and over after what's coming.
