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.
