"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead."

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 - 1913)

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.
