What are Wallace's contribution to natural selection?

Answer 1

Wegener proposed the continental drift theory, and provided scientific evidences for such, but couldn't explain the mechanism or processes behind the movement of continents. It wasn't until the mid-twentieth century with the discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that the processes causing plate movements began to be understood and led to the science of plate tectonics.

Answer 2

Alfred Russel Wallace was known as a British explorer, naturalist, geographer, biologist, and anthropologist. He is recognized for proposing a theory of natural selection that inspired Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.

Father of Biogeography • Co-discoverer of Descent with Modification (Evolution) • Discoverer of Wallace's line.

Answer 3

Alfred Wegener was a German scientist who hypothesized that the continents were slowly moving along the earth, and therefore discovered tectonic plates. He also figured out that the continents were like giant puzzle pieces that when put together could make up one giant continent (Its called Pangea)

Answer 4

He developed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that the continents were originally joined together as a giant landmass he named "Urkontinent" and has now become known as Pangea and that these had ultimately drifted apart. This can be considered the pre-cursor to the modern theory of plate tectonics.

Answer 5

In 1858 he sent an article outlining his theory to Darwin; it was published, along with a description of Darwin's own theory, in the same year.

Accounts of his studies and adventures there were eventually published in 1869 as The Malay Archipelago. The Malay Archipelago became one of the most popular journals of scientific exploration of the 19th century, kept continuously in print by its original publisher (Macmillan) into the second decade of the 20th century. It was praised by scientists such as Darwin (to whom the book was dedicated), and Charles Lyell, and by non-scientists such as the novelist Joseph Conrad, who called it his "favorite bedside companion" and used it as source of information for several of his novels, especially Lord Jim.

Answer 6

Wallace's theory of natural selection was sent to Charles Darwin. Darwin in England recognized his own theory in the manuscript

Answer 7

The only one I know of is 'Continental Drift' or how all the continents were once a giant land mass called Pangaea, but then some how drifted apart created the continents we know of today.

Answer 8

Alfred wegener's history and discovery is \ are, pangaea, plate tectonics, and continental drift theory.

Answer 9

He organizer the refung of the manipulated advice of numerical eweather

Answer 10

He was the co-discoverer of the theory of natural selection, set many sexual selective concepts into play and invented biogeography.
