In 1858, Alfred Russel Wallace wrote to Charles Darwin: he had worked out a theory of natural selection. Within two weeks, his outline and Wallace's paper were presented jointly in London. A year later, with Wallace still on the opposite side of the globe, Darwin published "On the Origin of Species". This work is a biography of Wallace.
