Genetics & Evolution: Alfred Russel Wallace đ¤ GCSE Biology Learning & Revision
Manage episode 482634915 series 3139280
In this episode, we will discuss Alfred Russel Wallace.
Alfred Russel Wallace, often overshadowed by Charles Darwin, independently conceived of natural selection. Both scientists conducted crucial research on islands, where isolation fostered rapid species divergence.
In 1858, Wallace and Darwin collaborated on joint publications outlining their shared ideas. However, Darwin's subsequent, faster publication of On the Origin of Species resulted in Wallace's contributions being largely forgotten by the general public.
Consequently, Wallace's significant role in developing the theory of evolution is often overlooked.
