""The facts of variability, of the struggle for existence, of adaptation to conditions, were notorious enough; but none of us had suspected that the road to the heart of the species problem lay through them, until Darwin and Wallace dispelled the darkness."" T H Huxley (1887). Darwin is one of the most famous scientists in history. But he was not alone. Comparatively forgotten, Wallace independently discovered evolution by natural selection in Southeast Asia. This book is based on the most thorough research ever conducted on Wallace's voyage. Closely connected, but worlds apart, Darwin and Wallace

Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist who is best remembered as the co-discoverer, with Darwin, of natural selection. His extensive fieldwork & advocacy of the theory of evolution led to him being considered one of the 19th century's foremost biologists. These volumes, first published in 1869, contain Wallace's acclaimed & highly influential account of extensive fieldwork he undertook in modern Indonesia, Malaysia & New Guinea between 1854 & 1862. Wallace describes his travels around the island groups, depicting the unusual animals & insects he encountered & providing ethnographic descriptions of the indigenous peoples. Wallace's analysis of biogeographic patterns in Indonesia profoundly influenced contemporary & later evolutionary & geological thought concerning both Indonesia & other areas of the world where similar patterns were found. Volume 2 covers the Molucca Islands & New Guinea.
