Poorly adapted to change were likely to
die out
, leaving only the better adapted form to survive and
breed
View source
Wallace dashed off a quick paper and sent it to the one man he thought would be really interested and help him get things published -
Charles Darwin
View source
When Darwin received Wallace's paper
He panicked - after
20 years
of careful work, would someone else publish
before
him?
View source
Darwin's friends advised him to produce an
extract
, summarising his main
findings
and publish it at the same time as Wallace
View source
Wallace's
ideas were not as carefully crafted as
Darwin's
, and they were not backed up by years of research
View source
The very next year,
The Origin of Species
was published and
Darwin
became forever associated with the theory of evolution by natural selection
View source
Wallace and
Darwin
continued to work in mutual support and friendship for many years, their respect for each other far outweighing any
rivalry
View source
Wallace worked worldwide gathering evidence for his
evolutionary
theories
View source
Wallace
developed clear theories on the role of
geographic isolation
in the formation of species
