Extractions: Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace Known around the world is the name of Charles Darwin and his history changing book "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" subtitled "the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life" published in 1859. As a young man Charles Darwin was always interested in nature, but since his father saw no future in being a naturalist, he was sent to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine. At 16 he left Edinburgh without a degree and enrolled in Christ College at Cambridge University to become a clergyman, since most naturalists of the day were clergyman. He Received his B.A. degree in 1831 in theology and was recommended by the Reverend John Henslow, professor of botany, to Captain Robert Fitzroy of the HMS Beagle to participate in a surveying voyage around the world. Darwin was 22 years old when they sailed from England in December 1831 with the primary mission of charting sections of the South American coastline. While the crew charted the coastline, Darwin observed the distinctive nature of South America and was puzzled by the geographic distribution of species. At the Galapagos Islands Darwin came across several types of finches that although were very similar had apparent adaptations to their particular environments. By the time they had sailed from the Galapagos Darwin had read Lyell's Principles of Geology, and began to doubt the Church's position that the earth was only a few thousand years old. Later Darwin would theorize that these new forms were the result of the accumulation of adaptations to a different environment (Campbell 1990, 428-429).

Charles Darwin And Alfred Russel Wallace Notes Alfred Russel Wallace (18231913) was a trained surveyor and architect, whodevoted himself to natural history and originated, independently of Charles http://www.christophereimer.co.uk/single/7871.html
Extractions: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 - 1913) is one of the forgotten fathers of modern science. He was born in the village of Usk in Monmouthshire, England. His father died when Alfred was young. Not long after formal schooling ended for Alfred. He joined his brother, William, in surveying a number of English counties over the next four years. This experience was to teach him how to make accurate observations and detailed recordings, skills which would be of immense importance in later life. Shortly after this, Wallace was appointed to the position of drawing-master at the Collegiate School in Leicester. It was here that he met Henry Walter Bates, a fellow teacher who introduced his young colleague to the methods and delights of botany. After two years the friends set out for South America on an expedition which would see them explore the Amazon and Rio Negro rivers. In order to cover a larger area Bates and Wallace split up. Wallace sent his collection of specimens to Para for storage in advance of transportation to England. He spent over four years in the tropical jungles of Brazil before setting sail for home in 1852. Disaster struck on the high seas. Wallace's ship caught fire and had to be abandoned in great haste. He lost his entire collection and most of his notes. Luckily, the crew and passengers were rescued by a passing vessel and, after further difficulties, arrived at Deal in an exhausted state. Such a calamity would have defeated a lesser person but Wallace turned his energies to writing an account of his time in Brazil

Extractions: Wallace was a prolific writer, and on an amazing variety of subjects. I have assembled a selection of representative and/or famous writings from his pen; these can be accessed by clicking on the links below. They are presented in forms as close as possible to the original publications, and with one or two trivial exceptions nothing has been edited out (where something has, I so indicate). In some places I have added notes to the text, plus short evaluative commentary received from prominent scientists and scholars who work in that field of study. The items have been very diligently proofread to correct transcription errors, though I cannot of course guarantee that absolutely none remain. StillAs I additionally have been able to correct a fair number of previously existing typos, the renditions offered are probably on the whole no more afflicted with errors than were the originals themselves.

Extractions: Men så kom dårligere tider for dette arbeidet og Wallace måtte søke seg jobb. Det fikk han som lærer ved en gutteskole i Leicester. Her fantes et rikholdig bibliotek, og det var på dette biblioteket han møtte en annen ung mann som skulle bety mye for hans videre karriere, Henry Walter Bates. Den unge Bates hadde en hobby, eller snarere en lidenskap. Han samlet på biller, og Wallace ble snart fascinert av det enorme artsmangfoldet rett utenfor Leicester. Det kom ut en bok dette året, i 1844, med tittelen "Vestiges of the Natural History of the Creation" ("Spor etter skapelsens naturhistorie").

Extractions: Wallace, Alfred Russel Wallace, Alfred Russel, , English naturalist. From his study of comparative biology in Brazil and in the East Indies, he evolved a concept of evolution similar to that of Charles Darwin . Like Darwin, he was greatly influenced by the writings of Malthus and Lyell and based his theories on careful observation. His special contribution to the evidence for evolution was in biogeography; he systematized the science and wrote The Geographical Distribution of Animals (2 vol., 1876) and a supplement, Island Life (1881). His research in this field is commemorated in the name Wallace's line . He assisted H. W. Bates in evolving an early concept of mimicry. His other works include Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection Darwinism Social Environment and Moral Progress (1913), and an autobiography (2 vol., 1905).

Extractions: Alfred Russell Wallace(1823 - 1913). Darwin El darwinismo Wallace pasó muchos años en Sudamérica, publicó sus notas en Viajes en el Amazonas y el Río Negro en 1853. En 1854, Wallace abandonó Inglaterra para estudiar la historia natural de Indonesia, donde contrajo malaria. Se dice que presa de la fiebre Wallace (¿dará la fiebre ideas convergentes....?) se las arregló para escribir sus ideas acerca de la selección natural: "...que la perpetua variabilidad de todos los seres vivos tendría que suministrar el material a partir del cual, por la simple supresión de aquellos menos adaptados a las condiciones del medio, solo los más aptos continuarán en carrera".. El origen de las especies . Este libro influyó profundamente en el pensamiento acerca de nosotros mismos y, conjuntamente con las teorías astronómicas de Copérnico y Galileo (siglos XVI y XVII), cambió la forma de pensar del mundo occidental, es claro que estos pensamientos se contradicen con la interpretación literal de la Biblia. En sus censuradas memorias (censuradas por su esposa y recuperadas por su nieta) Darwin llegó a escribir "Nunca llegué a percibir cuán ilógico era afirmar que creía en lo que no podía entender y en lo que de hecho es ininteligible. Podría haber dicho con absoluta verdad que no deseaba discutir ningún dogma; pero nunca llegué al absurdo de sentir y decir: "creo en lo que es increíble".

Extractions: Note Appearing in the Original Work: I. Why Doctors are not the Best Judges of the Results of Vaccination (1) In the first place they are interested parties, both pecuniary and in a much greater degree on account of professional training and prestige. Only three years after vaccination was first introduced, on the recommendation of the heads of the profession, and their expressed conviction that it would give lifelong protection against a terrible disease, Parliament voted Jenner £10,000 in 1802, and £20,000 more in 1807, besides endowing vaccination with £3,000 a year in 1808. From that time doctors as a body were committed to its support; it has been taught for nearly a century as an almost infallible remedy in all our medical schools; and has been for the most part accepted by the public and the legislature as if it were a well-established scientific principle, instead of being as the historian of epidemic diseasesDr. Creightonwell terms it, a grotesque superstition. (2) Whether vaccination produces good or bad results can only be determined by its effects on a large scale. We must see whether, during epidemicsat different periods or in different placessmall-pox mortality is diminished as compared with that from other diseases in proportion to the total amount of vaccination; and this can be done only by the Statistician, using the best materialsin this country those of our Registrar-Generals.
