Über den Autor

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913) was an eminent British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and biologist, best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection. His esteemed work in this field notably compliments that of Charles Darwin; together, their efforts paved the way for the acceptance of evolutionary biology. In scientific circles, Wallace is recognized for his extensive fieldwork, first in the Amazon River basin and later in the Malay Archipelago, where he identified the faunal divide now termed the 'Wallace Line'. Beyond his contributions to biology, Wallace was a prolific author, writing on a variety of topics including biogeography, environmentalism, and social reform. However, Wallace also ventured into more controversial discussions, exemplified by his book 'Vaccination a Delusion: Its Penal Enforcement a Crime' (1898), which underscored his skepticism of vaccination. In the broader context of Wallace's literary output, this work indicates his willingness to question scientific orthodoxy and reflects his broader humanitarian concerns. His literary style often combined detailed observation with expansive inquiry, demonstrating a keen intellect dedicated to understanding a range of human and natural phenomena. Despite disagreements over some of his views, Wallace's legacy as a preeminent scientist and author remains formidable.
