@sylmobile @damonyoung 1877, this is an original lecture presented to the Royal Geographic Society by Alfred Wallace on "The Comparative Antiquity of Continents, as indicated by the Distribution of Living and Extinct Animals"
It's actually a pretty good read!

Alfred Russel Wallace’s first expedition ended in flames
"Without money or connections, Wallace and Bates aspired to careers in science at a time when the field was the preserve of the moneyed elite. They would have to fund their scientific explorations by collecting and selling specimens."

08-Jan: Today is the 200th birthday of the man who, independently of Darwin, also arrived at the idea of natural selection, Alfred Russel Wallace. To mark the occasion, a new post about the two men’s friendship: friendsofdarwin.com/articles/d

Last, but not least, today I'm remembering British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), who was also(!) an explorer, collector, anthropologist, biologist and illustrator, on the anniversary of his death. 🍃
