Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 1913) is regarded as the co-discoverer with Darwin of the theory of evolution. It was an essay which Wallace sent in 1858 to Darwin (whom he greatly admired and to whom he dedicated his most famous book, The Malay Archipelago) which impelled Darwin to publish an article on his own long-pondered theory simultaneously with that of Wallace. As a travelling naturalist and collector in the Far East and South America, Wallace already inclined towards the Lamarckian theory of transmutation of species, and his own researches convinced him of the reality of evolution.

A friend of Charles Darwin and a social activist respected by John Stuart Mill, Alfred R. Wallace (1823 1913) was an outstanding nineteenth-century intellectual. Wallace, renowned in his time as the co-discoverer of natural selection, was a young schoolteacher when he began his exciting career as an explorer-naturalist, and set off for Brazil in 1848 with Henry Walter Bates. A Narrative of Travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro (1853) is the stimulating and engaging result of this first expedition and a precursor to his best-selling Malay Archipelago (1869). The depth and breadth of Wallace's...

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 1913) was a British naturalist best remembered as the co-discoverer, with Darwin, of natural selection. His extensive fieldwork and advocacy of the theory of evolution led to him being considered one of the nineteenth century's foremost biologists. These volumes, first published in 1869, contain Wallace's acclaimed and highly influential account of extensive fieldwork he undertook in modern Indonesia, Malaysia and New Guinea between 1854 and 1862. Wallace describes his travels around the island groups, depicting the unusual animals and insects he encountered and...

For years Alfred Russel Wallace was little more than an obscure adjunct to Charles Darwin s theory of evolution. Remembered only for prompting Darwin to write "On the Origin of Species "in 1859 by writing his own letter proposing a theory of natural selection, Wallace was rightly dubbed by one biographer the forgotten naturalist. In 1998 Sahotra Sarkar bemoaned Wallace s lapse into obscurity, noting that "at least in the 19th century literature, the theory of evolution was usually referred to as the Darwin and Wallace theory . In the 20th century, the theory of evolution has become...

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 1913) was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer and biologist, best remembered as the co-discoverer, with Darwin, of natural selection. His extensive fieldwork and advocacy of the theory of evolution led to him being considered one of the nineteenth century's foremost biologists. He was later moved by a variety of personal experiences to examine the concept of spirituality, but his exploration into the potential for compatibility between spiritualism and natural selection alienated him from the scientific community. He was also a social activist, highly...
