During the [[Age of Discovery]] many ships sailed far from home. Captain [[James Cook]] went twice around the world and discovered new places. Another person who helped is [[Charles Darwin]], known for the Theory of [[Evolution]]. He worked in marine biology. His [[expedition]]s aboard the HMS Beagle from 1831{{ndash}}1836 collected marine organisms. Several other people also made important voyages. [[Alfred Russel Wallace]] spent much of his younger life travelling the world and recording the plants and animals he saw.
