Counting up. 520 "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's stories hold many surprises. Did Darwin really keep his theory a secret for twenty years? Did he plagiarise Wallace? Were their theories really the same? How did Wallace hit on the solution, and on which island? This book reveals for the first time the true story of Darwin, Wallace and the discovery that would change our understanding of life on Earth forever. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Wallace, Alfred Russel,|d1823-1913.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79089631 600 14 Wallace, Alfred Russel,|d1823-1913. 600 17 Wallace, Alfred Russel,|d1823-1913.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/40683 650 0 Naturalists|zGreat Britain|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008108345 650 0 Natural selection.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85090264 650 7 Naturalists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1034543 650 7 Natural selection.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1034520 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVan Wyhe, John, 1971-|tDispelling the darkness.|d[Hackensack] New Jersey : World Scientific, 2013|z9789814458795|w(DLC) 2012051671|w(OCoLC)826997410 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=592594|zOnline eBook.
