Alfred Russel Wallace: ‘The Man who lived in Darwin's Shadow’ by Ray Hale
Ray says “We owe so much to this humble now almost forgotten naturalist. Working at the same time as Darwin he arrived at the Theory of Evolution independently and his own essay to Darwin outlining his own ideas on evolution became the catalyst for Darwin to publish his own Origin of Species. Originally credited as co-author of the theory, today he stands in the shadows and was buried with little ceremony. Who knows what might have been had he published his own work first?”
