Are the two science wonders cumulative like in Civ2, or do they have to be
built in separate cities?
(I know I could find out by trying, but it would take a while to do so.) It
is odd that the game makers are so very coy about the tech tree, and the
advantages of various discoveries/improvements.

The wonders are cumulative. Each one adds to the science, based on
the city's base science production -- doubling means adding 100%, so
two double-science wonders adds 200%.

Thanks for that information: that is not as cumulative as in Civ2, where I
think that Newton's doubled up on top of Copernicus but it is still perhaps
OK to build both in the same city.

They're cumulative. I try to put them into a city maxed with river
squares, and some bonus trade goods if I can manage, and stack them with
the Colossus to boot .... phenomenal numbers of beakers have been
achieved
