“If this is not done, future ages will certainly look back upon us as a people so immersed in the pursuit of wealth as to be blind to higher considerations” Alfred Russell Wallace
BTW, it's worth noting Alfred Russell Wallace and Darwin disagreed on one part of evolution: Wallace argued that geographical barriers, not merely environmental pressures could also separate species. Darwin hotly disagreed with this assessement and thought that mountains, rivers, etc were not enough to separate species and it was purely to environmental factors. In the end, though, Wallace's ideas have largely been accepted as a factor towards evolution. So he did make specific donations to the field of evolution that aren't widely recognized that Darwin did not. (Of course it's a bit more complicated than that, but it set the theories down on the correct path.)

@@mpcc2022 Excuse me, you are implying that over 2.3 billion people are retarded as flat-earthers. That implication in itself is retarded if you didn't know already.
Darwin was also a fervently against vaccinations. He was a strong believer in eugenics and believed that vaccinations worked against natural selection by allowing weak and sickly people to survive and thus pollute the human gene pool with inferior offspring.
I think the take away should be that historical people are venerated for where they were ahead of their time, not where they were a product of it. For that reason you can find flaws in pretty much every major figure.
@@Trekyhunter Very true. It seemed to me that highlighting his disdain for vaccinations yet not mentioning Darwin's similar views was a bit unfair. Darwin was a man with flaws of his own. We spend too much time venerating certain figures and seem to want to forget that even our heroes have their negative sides
@@ufsg61 “With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed. The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could we check our sympathy, if so urged by hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature. The surgeon may harden himself whilst performing an operation, for he knows that he is acting for the good of his patient; but if we were intentionally to neglect the weak and helpless, it could only be for a contingent benefit, with a certain and great present evil. Hence we must bear without complaining the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind; but there appears to be at least one check in steady action, namely the weaker and inferior members of society not marrying so freely as the sound; and this check might be indefinitely increased, though this is more to be hoped for than expected, by the weak in body or mind refraining from marriage.” ― Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man
I'm so glad you did this video. Wallace is probably one of the most underrated scientists in history. Right next to Rosalind Franklin. Have you guys done a video on her yet?
Great video I really seem to be enjoying the videos about scientists that I've never heard of or I'm not very familiar of I hope these videos gain more popularity because these are my favorite
Found Darwins diary trip to S America in a second hand book shop in Penang when I was in my 40's. Heard of Wallace later. I was very glad to find your video of Wallace today, I am now in my 76th year. Thank you for making the video and puplishing it. All shall be revealed later, Slotty Barfost.

Excellent content, sirs *(Edit: and Ladies! Sorry!).* I'm pleased to learn more about Wallace. He found out first hand that you can't argue with a fanatic. Minds cannot be changed with facts. It's super interesting he was against the Smallpox vaccine. It makes sense that he would be, but it's still funny.
Hi Simon, I have two names for you; Burke and Wills. This legendary exploration of the Aussie outback has all the ingredients for an awesome Biographics episode. It is tragic but disturbingly funny.
There is a very well written and entertaining discussion of the progression of Wallace's and Darwin's theories on evolution and their later disagreements in Tom Wolfe's book "The Kingdom of Speech". It's written as a preamble to the more recent controversy between Daniel Everett and Noam Chomsky on the phenomenon of speech.

Alfred Russel Wallace was never forgotten by men of biology or science. I don't know how or where this rumor started. He was well known amongst even the dullest of students in Evolution. I guess the dumbing down of university might somehow of projected a narrow view of Darwin. Too bad, so many have this illusion that Wallace was un-noticed or some such nonsense. Darwin and Wallace did physical things which even today would be incredibly difficult Try camping in Indonesia with the gear that Wallace had. Try going to the Amazon without modern mediicines and purifying tablets.... And both thinkers of "where did life come from?" were to my mind, some of the deepest intellects of all time. Incredible if you imagine the time and the boorish ideas passing as 'truths' both then and now.
Pssssst! Hey! Can you do a video on Dicey Langston? I've searched everyone on youtube, & theres only old videos. Would love an in depth video from you. Love learning from your channel.
It's interesting that the flat Earthers were *more* of a source of contention 200 years ago than they are now. It certainly sent many people off on wild irrational tangents to reality. It's a shame he got caught up in that foolishness.
Look up also the Scots tree grower Patrick Matthew. His 1829 paper, "On Naval Timber and Arboriculture" outlaid and even coined the phrase "natural selection". When Darwin's observations were published in a magazine, Matthew wrote a furious letter, accusing him of plagiarism. In fact, Darwin had never read Matthew's observations, but it sparked off a correspondence between the two, where they shared their ideas.
Not entirely related to the fathers of modern evolutionary theory, but a Biographics video on Felix von Luckner would be awesome! The man certainly led an interesting life.
Hey simon, Just wanted you to know..... For the most part I could care less about most of what you talk about. It's you I enjoy watching.

why dont we already know about Alfred? because he didnt come from the established money. thats my opinion, had he come from money we would already know all about him.
Bingo. Also Wallace rejected the idea of humans evolving from other species. That throws an interesting aspect into the conversation seeing that he was one of the original contributors to the theory.
Could you please do general haig, he ww1 a ww1 general and he was the man that coordinated the battle of the somme. I think it would be interesting + I'm doing my history course work on him so it would be a real help.

Wallace was the greatest antagonist of Samuel Birley Rowbotham (the "Zetetic" flat earther). Read about their wager in _, Flat Earth_ by historian Christine Garwood, Ph.D. (Open University, IIRC).
100 years before Mr. Darwin, many books were written which hinted to natural selection. Many prehistoric animals were being discovered. But totally overlook was a Scottish gardener named Patrick Matthew. He published the first comprehensive theory of natural selection when Mr. Darwin was on the HMS Beagle. Later when Mr. Darwin discovered this master work, he duly apologised to Mr. Matthew realising that his ideas where no so original.
I was there..... Norman is a fondly remembered friend and associate of my father Robert D. Havener. I promise all the work was done with the best of intent, by a dedicated international team of scientists and administrators. The international programs were in four parts : Food supply, education, family planning, health care, unfortunately, the ones that took off the fastest were food and health care, and had the largest effect on population......In my opinion it doesn't mean that it shouldn't have been done. It is unfortunate that the social programs were not as effective.........If you can do better, please do.
Watch his personal channel he did a vlog everyday in 2016. He's also doing a call in show at business blaze now. So he's told everything there is to know everything he's willing to share
Excellent video thank you. Been a fan of Wallace's work on evolution, and his travels for many years, but I didn't know about his fight with the flat-Earthers. Nice1 thanks
Excellent. one thing might interest you. In Darwin's book on origin of species he managed to spare one sentence for the subject of the book, which otherwise was about pigeons and the notion that there is nos such thing as a species. He wrote, "As for speciation, it is happenstance, as hybrid infertility never did any species any good." Wallace, on the other hand - if my source is correct - said that as soon as a species enters a new niche, its first order of business is to undergo speciation so as to secure the new niche and retain the old. If you put that with Mendel's laws, you will see that they put a limit on a randomly mating animal population. Yet now going on a couple centuries, nobody has caught on and successfully pointed this out. If you have the slightest doubt, you can contact me at info@nobabies .net.
Hey Simon, have you heard about grandson of last King of Italy, Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy who sells pasta at LA. Pls make a video about him if you can.
Woah, Neath isn't and has never been located in England! It's 100% Welsh. In fact I'm pretty sure the photo you used in the video contains the flag of Owain Glyndŵr who is kind of famous for being extremely anti-English!
What I like about this video it doesn't say Darwin was a sod who trampled Wallace. Darwin was more than generous and happy to share the idea and theory. Darwin had Thomas Huxley to fight his corner. Wallace was a clever man who added to our knowledge. It was in fact the weight of Wallace's evidence that made Darwin publish. I really enjoyed this. I was aware of him but not this much
Have you seen Bill Bailey's two part Wallace special? He goes into depth about the interactions, and more importantly, the time line of Wallace's dealings with Darwin. What comes out seems to be that Wallace was 'there' with his idea, while Darwin was still waffling about studying further. His questions to Darwin, and the scientific community back in England, prompted Darwin to rush out his book, "On The Origins of Species", before Wallace got back. What Bailey portrays, rather than Darwin keeping Wallace out completely, or stealing from his work, is that a lot of the subterfuge was at the urging of Darwin's friend, Charles Lyell. The problem is, that even though Darwin didn't like the idea, he ultimately agreed to publishing his book, and OLD material of Wallace's at the same time. Lyell convinced him to at least hold back the most recent posts from Wallace in the field when his book came out.
Darwin was quite ethical towards Wallace, recognizing his value and proposing that his theses - those of Darwin, prepared during 20 years of observations and unpublished due to Darwin's emotional blocks and his care with what it would represent in the scientific world - and Wallace's theses, were presented together, to which Wallace agreed. It must also be said that there are differences in how Darwin and Wallace view natural selection. For Darwin, sexual selection played a key role in natural selection, which Wallace did not agree with. Wallace believed in spiritualism and liked to insert "supernatural" impressions into his works, which Darwin did not agree with. Even so, they remained for the rest of their lives.

What I like about this video it doesn't say Darwin was a sod who trampled Wallace. Darwin was more than generous and happy to share the idea and theory. Darwin had Thomas Huxley to fight his corner. Wallace was a clever man who added to our knowledge. It was in fact the weight of Wallace's evidence that made Darwin publish. I really enjoyed this. I was aware of him but not this much
Have you seen Bill Bailey's two part Wallace special? He goes into depth about the interactions, and more importantly, the time line of Wallace's dealings with Darwin. What comes out seems to be that Wallace was 'there' with his idea, while Darwin was still waffling about studying further. His questions to Darwin, and the scientific community back in England, prompted Darwin to rush out his book, "On The Origins of Species", before Wallace got back.
What Bailey portrays, rather than Darwin keeping Wallace out completely, or stealing from his work, is that a lot of the subterfuge was at the urging of Darwin's friend, Charles Lyell. The problem is, that even though Darwin didn't like the idea, he ultimately agreed to publishing his book, and OLD material of Wallace's at the same time. Lyell convinced him to at least hold back the most recent posts from Wallace in the field when his book came out.
@@nevyen149 I've not seen it. Darwin was using a lot of his grandfather's material. I will search it out.
I always thought Wallace dropped off the stage because of his feuding with the supporters of Darwinism
How did I miss this one 😅
8:38 Creepy change in background music. Ayy? 🤔
why is that frame off from the others? its distracting
A request for Herman Melville, author of "Moby-Dick, or, The Whale", if you please. I feel like you could really do something there....
Is there a place called "Neath" in England?
Darwin was quite ethical towards Wallace, recognizing his value and proposing that his theses - those of Darwin, prepared during 20 years of observations and unpublished due to Darwin's emotional blocks and his care with what it would represent in the scientific world - and Wallace's theses, were presented together, to which Wallace agreed. It must also be said that there are differences in how Darwin and Wallace view natural selection. For Darwin, sexual selection played a key role in natural selection, which Wallace did not agree with. Wallace believed in spiritualism and liked to insert "supernatural" impressions into his works, which Darwin did not agree with. Even so, they remained for the rest of their lives.
If only Wallace had access to Curisoity Stream...
I dont know why but he looks like a very nice man.
Neath is a Welsh Town and not an English Town! I’m from Neath and there is a plaque outside the Antiquarian Society he founded there!
Evo-Devo is the new greatest idea of evolution.
