About Alfred Russel Wallace
Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist, explorer, and biologist who independently developed the theory of evolution through natural selection, co-publishing a paper on the subject with Charles Darwin in 1858. Known for his extensive fieldwork and studies of the natural world, Wallace made significant contributions to the fields of biogeography and evolutionary biology. His work on the Malay Archipelago and the Amazon rainforest provided crucial insights into the diversity of species and the mechanisms of evolution.
