摘要

In February 1858, shivering with fever on an island in the Malay Archipelago, the naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace knew he had solved the problem of the origin of species. Soon afterward an outline of his theory was on its way to England. That Wallace should send this manuscript to Charles Darwin, of all people, is characteristic of the man: He was naive, perhaps, but was also imbued with a sense of how to navigate the genteel hierarchies of mid-Victorian science. Wallace realized that the evolutionary relation between species and varieties was both the great question of the age and Darwin's special study, and that Darwin, driven by a gentlemanly sense of fair play, would give the paper the attention it deserved. By and large, Wallace was satisfied that he did.
