No, not an explorer (so certainly not Scott).

Although not a household name, this guy is well respected in his field.

Not an inventor, no.  One of his uncles was an inventor though.  Not that that will help.

He was indeed a biologist amongst other things.

I think you have got him.

As a matter of interest, he's my 4th Cousin 3 Times Removed. Tongue
