About Alfred Russel Wallace

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.
