Very closely in natural selection, but in some drivers of evolution, such as sexual selection, Wallace and Darwin disagreed on the fine points. Wallace could not accept female choice in sexual selection when Darwin posited this concept. Lively exchanges in letters were held over this disagreement.

How did Alfred Russell Wallace contribute to the theory of evolution?

Alfred Russell Wallace independently developed the theory of evolution through natural selection, paralleling Charles Darwin's ideas. In 1858, he sent Darwin a manuscript outlining his findings, prompting both to present their work together at the Linnean Society of London. Wallace's extensive field research, particularly in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, provided crucial insights into species distribution and adaptation. His contributions helped solidify the concept of natural selection as a fundamental mechanism of evolution.


What did Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace independently conclude?

How does Alfred Russell Wallace's theory compare to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection?

Alfred Russell Wallace and Charles Darwin both independently developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. They both proposed that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. However, Darwin's work is more widely known and recognized, as he published his theory first.
