A complicated answer: Both and neither. For more than four centuries, scientists and explorers have worked together--sometimes intentionally and sometimes not--in an ongoing, symbiotic partnership. When early explorers brought back exotic flora and fauna from newly discovered lands, scientists were able to challenge ancient authorities for the first time. As a result, scientists not only invented new navigational tools to encourage exploration, but also created a new approach to studying nature, in which observations were more important than reason and authority. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story of the relationship between science and exploration, analyzed here for the first time, is nothing less than the history of modern science and the expanding human universe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael S.
