Monmouthshire, England, January 8, 1823, d. Broadstone, Dorset, England, November 7, 1913] Alfred Wallace is best known as the codiscoverer, with Darwin, of evolution by natural selection. In 1854 Wallace set out on a collecting expedition to the Malay Archipelago. During his travels he decided that the geographical distribution of species results from evolutionary forces. In 1858 he sent an essay containing his ideas to Darwin who, unknown to Wallace, had been developing a similar theory for some 20 years. Darwin presented a joint paper on their theory before the Linnaean Society on July 1,1858. Wallace also did pioneering work in zoogeography (the study of the geographic distribution of animals), including the observation of two distinct zoological regions in the Malay Archipelago separated by what came to be called Wallace's line.

Wallace, Alfred Russell (1823-1913)
Cofounder with Charles Darwin of the theory of evolution by natural selection , and the first great biologist to consider in depth the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Wallace differed from Darwin in that he regarded mankind as more than just the product of evolution and "that some higher intelligence may have directed the process by which the human race was developed." In his influential work Man's Place in the Universe: A Study of the Results of Scientific Research in Relation to the Unity or Plurality of Worlds (1903), Wallace presented a view of the Milky Way system which was coextensive with the Universe and at the center of which lay the Sun. By a series of arguments based on this anthropocentric scheme, he deduced that the Earth and its inhabitants were unique. Even at the time, his conclusions were greeted with skepticism. Fifteen years later, with the discovery that the Sun lay in the outskirts of the Milky Way rather than at its heart, and that our Galaxy is but one of many, most of Wallace's central assumptions were shown to be false.

Alfred Russel Wallace Collection
(0.25 linear feet) B W15a American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract A prime exponent of evolutionary theory in the late nineteenth century, the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace arrived independently at the theory of natural selection nearly simultaneously with Charles Darwin. The numerous publications that emerged from his extended field excusions into the Amazon Basin and the Malay Archipelago (Indonesia) Wallace resulted in major contributions to evolutionary theory, biogeography, ecology, and ethnography, and made Wallace, by the end of his life, one of the best known naturalists in Britain. A Socialist, social progressive, and Spiritualist, Wallace's distinctive take on evolutionary change differed from the Darwinian mainstream in significant ways. The Wallace Collection is a miscellaneous assemblage of letters written by and to Alfred Russel Wallace, primarily during the last twenty five years of his life. Varied in content, the letters touch on Wallace's views on evolution, Spiritualism, and to a less degree, his progressive social commitments.

The Great Pyramid
1. That the pyramid is truly square, the sides being equal and the angles right angles.
2. That the four sockets on which the four first stones of the corners rested, are truly on the same level.
3. That the directions of the sides are accurately to the four cardinal points.
4. That the vertical height of the pyramid bears the same proportion to its circumference at the base, as the radius of a circle does to its circumference.
Now all these measures, angles, and levels are accurate, not as an ordinary surveyor or builder could make them, but to such a degree as requires the very best modern instruments and all the refinements of geodetical science to discover any error at all. In addition to this we have the wonderful perfection of the workmanship in the interior of the pyramid, the passages and chambers being lined with huge blocks of stones fitted with the utmost accuracy, while every part of the building exhibits the highest structural science.

They are presented in forms as close as possible to the original publications, and with one or two trivial exceptions nothing has been edited out (where something has, I so indicate). In some places I have added notes to the text, plus short evaluative commentary received from prominent scientists and scholars who work in that field of study. The items have been very diligently proofread to correct transcription errors, though I cannot of course guarantee that absolutely none remain. StillAs I additionally have been able to correct a fair number of previously existing typos, the renditions offered are probably on the whole no more afflicted with errors than were the originals themselves.

Alfred Russel Wallace Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 - 1913) is best known as the naturalist who's fieldwork gave support to the theory of "The Origin Of Species" put forward by Charles Darwin. He spend 4 years in the Amazon basin (1848 - 1852) and for 8 years in South East Asia (1854 - 1862). He is also remembered as the author of the "Wallace Line" which runs north to south between Borneo and Java on one side and the rest of the region on the other. It was observed that the fauna found in the two halves were distinctly different because of two groups of island drifting appart due the shifting of the earth's surface millions of years ago. The following is an extract from the book "The Malay Archipelago" which give a detailed account during his visit to Malacca from July to September 1854 and describing vividly the fauna and flora in the interior of Malacca and Gunung Ledang (Mount Ophir). There is also a description of the suburb in the 16 th century by a famous world traveller Jan Huyghen Linschoten. Birds and most other kinds of animals being scarce at Singapore, I left it in July for Malacca, where I spent more than two months in the interior, and made an excursion to Mount Ophir. The old and picturesque town of Malacca is crowded along the banks of the small river, and consists of narrow streets of shops and dwelling houses, occupied by the descendants of the Portuguese, and by Chinamen. In the suburbs are the houses of the English officials and of a few Portuguese merchants, embedded in groves of palms and fruit-trees, whose varied and beautiful foliage furnishes a pleasing relief to the eye, as well as most grateful shade.

Alfred Russel Wallace wurde 1883 im englischen Usk, im damaligen Monmouthshire (heute Gwent) in Wales, geboren. Er war der achte von neun Kindern (er hatte drei Brüder und fünf Schwestern). Seine Eltern Thomas Vere Wallace und Mary Anne Greenell lebten mit ihrer grossen Familie in bescheidenen Verhältnissen. Bereits mit 14 Jahren - nach Beendigung der Grundschule - musste Wallace die Schule verlassen und arbeiten gehen. Neben seiner Lehre als Vermesser benutzte er jede freie Zeit, um seine Ausbildung selbst weiterzutreiben.
On On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type
Mark Benecke, Fellow der Linnean Society, beschreibt den Ablauf folgendermassen:
Charles Lyell und Joseph Hooker sandten am 30. Juni 1858 drei wissenschaftliche Arbeiten an den Sekretär der Linnean Society; erstens: Charles Darwins "On the variation of organic beings in a state of nature" von 1839, zweitens ein Brief Darwins an Professor Asa Grey in Boston vom 5. September 1857 und schließlich die Schrift von Alfred Russel Wallace "On the tendency of varieties to depart indefinetly from the original type". Nachdem die zwei Arbeiten Darwins und eine von Wallace vor der Linnean Society in London verlesen worden waren, wurden die drei Arbeiten der beiden Forscher am 20. August 1858 gemeinsam im Zoologischen Journal der Linnean Society of London veröffentlicht.

Amerika is vernoemd naar Amerigo Vespucci, en Tasmanië naar Abel Tasman. Verder zijn er bij het grote publiek maar weinig ontdekkingsreizigers bekend naar wie gebieden op aarde zijn vernoemd. Aan wie het gebied Wallacea zijn naam te danken heeft, weet slechts een enkeling. Alfred Russell Wallace (1823-1913) Wallace was een self-made bioloog. Op 25-jarige leeftijd vertrok hij naar Zuid-Amerika om planten en dieren te verzamelen. Tot 1852 hield hij zich daarmee bezig. Na een verblijf van twee jaar in Engeland vertrok hij voor een tocht van acht jaar door Indonesië. Hier ontwikkelde hij dezelfde ideeën als Darwin over evolutie door natuurlijke selectie, onafhankelijk van Darwin. De publicatie van zijn reisverhalen in Indonesië in 1869, genaamd The Malay Archipelago , was een enorme bestseller. Hoewel Indonesië door vooral Nederlandse inspanningen al redelijk bekend was, kwam Wallace in streken waar nog weinig of geen natuuronderzoekers waren geweest. Hij beschreef niet alleen planten en dieren, maar ook ziekten die hij opliep, onderhandelingen die hij moest voeren, en lokale gebruiken. In 1862 keerde hij terug naar Londen. Zijn naam als expert van de natuur in de Maleisische Archipel was voorgoed gevestigd. Hij overleed in 1913, 90 jaar oud.
