Besides Darwin the theory of evolution by means of natural selection was also independently proposed by who?
Alfred Russel Wallace.
Wallace was a naturalist who independently came up with the idea of natural selection while traveling in what is now Malaysia and Indonesia. He sent a letter outlining his ideas to Charles Darwin, to whom it came as a great shock.
Darwin had been working on his theory of natural selection for at least 20 years and did not know what to do. His friends Charles Lyell and Joseph Hooker decided that the fairest thing to do was to present Wallace's essay and Darwin's own writings jointly to the Linnean Society in 1858.
Meanwhile Darwin rushed to complete a shorter version of his intended book, which was published in 1859 as 'On the origin of species'.
