Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity Alfred Russell Wallace was educated at Hertford Grammar School. At the age of 14 he became an apprentice land surveyor and architect to his brother William, and for the next 8 to 10 years he created accurate surveys and maps of farmlands, parishes and public lands in Bedfordshire and Wales. This experience taught him of the importance of making accurate observations and detailed recordings, skills that would prove invaluable to him in later life. Soon after this Wallace was appointed to the position of drawing master at the collegiate school in Leicester. It was here that he made the acquaintance of Henry Walter Bates ( ), who then introduced him to the field of botany. Wallace became particularly interested at this stage in beetles. In Bates and Wallace travelled to the Amazon on expedition. Two years later they decided to split up in order to cover a larger area and each wrote an account of his travels and observations. Wallace published his Narrative of Travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro. From

Alfred Russel Wallace: The Origins of an Evolutionist (1823-1848) Charles H. Smith, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Western Kentucky University. The author has graciously shared with readers of the Victorian Web this essay from his rich Alfred Russel Wallace site , which contains extensive bibliographies of primary and secondary materials, a section on frequently asked questions, and a wealth of primary documents and portraits. Young Alfred's childhood was a happy one, but at times difficult for lack of money. Four of his five older sisters did not live beyond the age of twenty-two, and Wallace himself was not always in the best of health. He found the grammar school he attended in Hertford rather tedious, but for a time was privy to plenty of good reading materials, his father being a town librarian for some years. About 1835 the elder Wallace was swindled out of his remaining property and the family fell on really hard times; young Wallace was forced to withdraw from school around Christmas 1836 and was sent to London to room with his older brother John. The ensuing several month experience was critical to his future intellectual development, as there he first came into contact with supporters of the utopian socialist Robert Owen. In his autobiography My Life he recollects that he even once heard Owen himself speak; from that point on he would describe himself in disciple terms.

Researchers Alfred Russel Wallace THE FAMOUS naturalist, co-discoverer with Darwin of the principles of evolution, was a confirmed philosophical sceptic, a materialist so thorough that before he got acquainted with the facts of spiritualism there was no place in his mind for the conception of spiritual existence, or for any agencies in the universe other than matter and force. The facts beat him. To quote his own words from his preface to On Miracles and Modern Spiritualism: "They compelled me to accept them, as facts, long before I could accept the spiritual explanation of them: there was at that time 'no place in my fabric of thought into which it could be fitted.' (Argument of Dr. Carpenter). By slow degrees a place was made." He was led to believe (1) in the existence of a number of preterhuman intelligences of various grades; (2) that some of these intelligences, although usually invisible and intangible to us, can and do act on matter, and do influence our minds. It was by the latter doctrine that he accounted for some of the residual phenomena in his Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection His earliest experiences on matters pertaining to spiritualism date from 1844 when he was teaching in a school in one of the Midland Counties. Influenced by a lecture of Spencer Hall on mesmerism he tried similar experiments and attained surprising success. During twelve years of tropical wanderings occupied in the study of natural history, he heard occasionally of "table-turning" and "spirit-rapping." He resolved to investigate them on his return. His first chance came on July 22, 1865, in the house of a friend, a sceptic. After more than a dozen sittings he became satisfied that "there is an unknown power developed from the bodies of a number of persons placed in connection by sitting round a table with all their hands upon it." The next stage of his inquiry began in September, 1865, and was devoted to the physical and mental phenomena of

The outcome of Wallace's ruminations was that he went on to propound a theory of the evolutionary origin of species by natural selection.   It was a memoir sent to by Wallace to the influential expert naturalist Charles Darwin in 1858 that prompted Darwin to make public his own theorisings about the evolution of species.   Darwin's own theorisings on evolution had largely taken their final form some fifteen years previously but he had been most hesitant about making them public !!!   Prompted by Wallace's memoir Darwin, in consultation with Sir Charles Lyell and Sir Joseph Hooker, agreed that there should be a public presentation of his own and Wallace's potentially dramatically controversial views.

ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE (Naturalist and Explorer) Alfred Russel Wallace, traveled to Amazonia in 1848. Wallace noticed many plants and animals had special features enabling them survive the conditions which they lived. These observations led Wallace to develop a theory about how species of plants and animals gradually change through a process known as 'evolution' or "natural selection". Alfred Russel Wallace, a British naturalist, was born in Monmouthshire , England in 1823. In 1848 he made an expedition to the Amazon River with the British naturalist Henry Walter Bates . During his exploration on plants and animals of the Amazon, he distinguished that some animals had camouflage to help them hide from predators, and some birds had specially shaped bills to let them crack open nuts and extract nectar from plants. Some plants had clever defenses to help fight attacks by insects. These observations led Wallace to develop a theory about how species of plants and animals gradually change through a process known as evolution or “natural selection”. This theory was developed at the same time as that of another famous English naturalist

Alfred Russel Wallace Alfred Russel Wallace was born in a small village of Usk, located in Wales. Shortly after Alfred finished school, his father passed away and he joined his brother surveying countries. He did this for about four years. Through this experience, he acquired his talent for observation and detailed recordings which helped immensely later on in his life. Alfred Wallace is best known for his theory of natural selection . From 1854 to 1862 he and his mentor Henry Walter Bates explored the Amazon River. It was during this expedition that he saw differences between the animals in Asia and the animals in Australia. From this observation he put a line between the Malay islands and Celebes which he called the Wallace’s Line. Out of this experience came his theory of natural selection. After he thought about this theory he wrote a manuscript called “On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type.” Instead of just sending his manuscript straight to the publishers, he first sent it to Charles Darwin . At this time Darwin saw so many similarities with his theory that he decided to publish his theory right away. To this day, Wallace’s greatest accomplishment was to get Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.

Alfred Russel Wallace Biography Sometimes misspelled as: Alfred Russell Wallace Birth: January 8, 1823 in Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales Death: November 7, 1913 in Broadstone, Dorset, England BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY British naturalist, codiscoverer with Charles Darwin of the principles of biological evolution. Wallace was a philosophical skeptic, a materialist. His experience of Spiritualist phenomena overcame his skepticism. In the preface to his book On Miracles and Modern Spiritualism (1874) Wallace writes: "They compelled me to accept them, as facts, long before I could accept the spiritual explanation of them: there was at that time `no place in my fabric of thought into which it could be fitted.' (Argument of Dr. Carpenter). By slow degrees a place was made.'' Wallace was led to believe 1) in the existence of numerous preternatural intelligences of various grades and 2) that some of these intelligences, although usually invisible and intangible to us, can and do act on matter, and do influence our minds. It was by the latter doctrine that he accounted for some of the residual phenomena in his work Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection (1870). Wallace was born on January 8, 1823, at Usk, Monmouthshire. After leaving school he worked as a land surveyor and architect. Around 1840 his interest in botany began and he started a herbarium. In 1845, he was an English teacher at the Collegiate School, Leicester, where he met H. W. Bates, who influenced him to collect and study beetles.
