  I think Charles Darwin!! He is best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. He travelled the globe, and was part of one of the most important theories in biology!
  
  Have you seen the film Creation? You should watch it!

  I think I would be Isaac Newton. He was a genius and is still considered to be an absolute legend!

  I think it would have been interesting in the early Victorian era as so much was being discovered, and practically anyone could be a scientist back then as all the discoveries were major but with basic equipment. Perhaps Michael Faraday – he was a pioneer in the understanding and use of electricity. And like Newton and Darwin (see the answers from Lauren and Anais) he has been on the back of a UK banknote.
  
  Perhaps that is the criterion to decide!
