Joseph Thomson (explorer)
Joseph Thomson (14 February 1858- 2 August 1895) was a Scottish geologist and explorer who played an important part in the Scramble for Africa. Thomson's Gazelle is named for him. Excelling as an explorer rather than an exact scientist, he avoided confrontations among his porters or with indigenous peoples, neither killing any native nor losing any of his men to violence.〔(Through Maasailand: In the Footsteps of Africa's Greatest Explorer )〕 His motto is often quoted to be ''"He who goes gently, goes safely; he who goes safely, goes far."''
==Early life==
Born in Penpont, Dumfriesshire, he was apprenticed into his father's stone-masonry and quarrying business. He developed a keen amateur interest in geology and botany which eventually led to his formal education at the University of Edinburgh, studying under Archibald Geikie and Thomas Henry Huxley.
