摘要

In one of the greatest episodes of a “scoop” in scientific history, Alfred Russell Wallace's co-discovery of evolution by natural selection has relegated him to a perpetual footnote to Charles Darwin's transformative theory. However, Wallace and Darwin, along with a handful of other 19th century naturalists, provided more than just insights about how species changed through evolutionary time. In their respective voyages replete with tropical disease, run-ins with natives, and a variety of ship-related mishaps, these men gathered meticulous data on all creatures great and small, and then spent decades synthesizing their observations to understand not only how life evolved, but how it was variously distributed across the planet.
