Congratulations, you are Charles Darwin!
Like Darwin, you love to explore the world around you. You refuse to conform to social norms, even when you know that you will face backlash for it. You have a great mind and many support you for your ability to take a stand for what you know to be true.
Charles Darwin has achieved worldwide fame for his theory of evolution. He studied creatures all over the world, and developed his theory based off his countless observations. When it was published he faced opposition from many, as his theory directly contradicted popular religious views at the time. However, he had a great deal of support from the scientific community and from those who chose to accept his science over popular opinion.

You are Richard Owen!
You are highly ambitious, and will fight endlessly for what you believe in.... even if you're wrong. You're a little more traditional, and try not to upset the social norm too much. It pains you to see someone do better than you, so you try your best to not let that happen.
Richard Owen was a scientific opponent to Charles Darwin and his theory. A celebrated biologist and paleontologist in his younger years, Owen made many discoveries regarding extinct species. Unfortunately for him, he chose the wrong opponent when he decided to fight Darwin over man's place in nature. While he was a great biologist, by the time he died he had damaged his reputation so much that he was almost completely disregarded by the scientific community.
