He was the eighth of nine children in a middle-class but not very well-off English family; his childhood seems to have been rather ordinary. In late 1836, however, his father experienced financial ruin and he was forced to apprentice young Alfred to a builder in London. Shortly after arriving there Wallace was exposed through an older brother to the social utopian teachings of the Owenists, an influence which would inform his positions from that point onward. During Wallace's period at Leicester he had come into contact with two works that would prove critical to his intellectual development: Charles Lyell's masterwork of uniformitarian earth science

   Extractions: The author had graciously shared with readers of the Victorian Web this essay from his rich Alfred Russel Wallace site , which contains extensive bibliographies of primary and secondary materials, a section on frequently asked questions, and a wealth of primary documents and portraits. Young Alfred's childhood was a happy one, but at times difficult for lack of money. Four of his five older sisters did not live beyond the age of twenty-two, and Wallace himself was not always in the best of health. He found the grammar school he attended in Hertford rather tedious, but for a time was privy to plenty of good reading materials, his father being a town librarian for some years. About 1835 the elder Wallace was swindled out of his remaining property and the family fell on really hard times; young Wallace was forced to withdraw from school around Christmas 1836 and was sent to London to room with his older brother John. The ensuing several month experience was critical to his future intellectual development, as there he first came into contact with supporters of the utopian socialist Robert Owen. In his autobiography My Life he recollects that he even once heard Owen himself speak; from that point on he would describe himself in disciple terms.

    Extractions: Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity Alfred Russell Wallace was educated at Hertford Grammar School. At the age of 14 he became an apprentice land surveyor and architect to his brother William, and for the next 8 to 10 years he created accurate surveys and maps of farmlands, parishes and public lands in Bedfordshire and Wales. This experience taught him of the importance of making accurate observations and detailed recordings, skills that would prove invaluable to him in later life. Soon after this Wallace was appointed to the position of drawing master at the collegiate school in Leicester. It was here that he made the acquaintance of Henry Walter Bates ( ), who then introduced him to the field of botany. Wallace became particularly interested at this stage in beetles. In Bates and Wallace travelled to the Amazon on expedition. Two years later they decided to split up in order to cover a larger area and each wrote an account of his travels and observations. Wallace published his Narrative of Travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro. From

    Extractions: In 1858, Wallace wrote an essay outlining his ideas on evolution and sent it to Darwin, who had not yet published his. Together they presented a paper to the Linnean Society that year. Wallace's section, entitled On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type, described the survival of the fittest. Wallace was born in Usk (now in Gwent). While working as a schoolteacher, he met English naturalist Henry Bates ; together they planned a collecting trip to the Amazon, and arrived in South America 1848. When Wallace was returning to the UK 1852, his ship sank and although he survived, all his specimens were lost except those that had been shipped earlier. From 1854 to 1862 he explored the Malay Peninsula and archipelago, from which he collected more than 125,000 specimens, and in 1869-70 he made an expedition to Borneo and Maluku.

    Extractions: Alfred Russel Wallace was born in a small village of Usk, located in Wales. Shortly after Alfred finished school, his father passed away and he joined his brother surveying countries. He did this for about four years. Through this experience, he acquired his talent for observation and detailed recordings which helped immensely later on in his life. Alfred Wallace is best known for his theory of natural selection . From 1854 to 1862 he and his mentor Henry Walter Bates explored the Amazon River. It was during this expedition that he saw differences between the animals in Asia and the animals in Australia. From this observation he put a line between the Malay islands and Celebes which he called the Wallace’s Line. Out of this experience came his theory of natural selection. After he thought about this theory he wrote a manuscript called “On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type.” Instead of just sending his manuscript straight to the publishers, he first sent it to Charles Darwin . At this time Darwin saw so many similarities with his theory that he decided to publish his theory right away. To this day, Wallace’s greatest accomplishment was to get Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.

    Extractions: "...every species comes into existence coincident in time and space with a preexisting closely allied species." Co-discoverer of the theory of natural selection and key player in the development of biogeography. A self-taught professional natural history collector who had spent years in South America and Asia, he began work on the species problem in the mid-1850's while in the field, publishing little-noticed papers that argued for the fact of evolution on the basis of geographical distributions. In 1858 he suddenly intuited the selection theory without realizing that Darwin already had done so, and ironically wrote to him for help in getting his ideas published. This resulted in the joint paper read before the Linnean Society and published that year. Throughout the rest of his life Wallace graciously gave as much credit as possible to Darwin, and the Darwin circle reciprocated by arranging a government pension and assorted honors for Wallace. Although he was less inclined to neo-Lamarckism than Darwin himself, he later argued that the theory did not apply to the evolution of man. See also Charles Smith's Alfred Russel Wallace Page
