Evolution by Darwin and Wallace by Molly

Think about this.

I'm going to explain the work that darwin and wallace both did, who do you think did the most work? Who deserves the credit for evolution?

Charles Darwin

●    He was a naturalist

●    Second youngest out of 6 kids

●    Came from a long line of scientist

●    Grew up wealthy

●    Had lots of schooling

Alfred Russel Wallace

●     Naturalist

●     Not very educated more self taught

●     He didn't grow up in a wealthy family

●     Did things on his own

More on Darwin

Darwin and his mentor went on a 5 year voyage that was going to send them around the world.

Darwin collected specimens from all around

The galapagos islands are what stuck out most to darwin.

When he got home we was looking over his finding and came up the the theory of evolution.  (finches)

More about Wallace

He went on an 8 year expedition in indonesia

He gathered over 100,000 animal bird and insect specimen

As soon as wallace figured out exactly how evolution he wrote it down on a 8-9 page paper, he sent it to darwin for a peer review.

In an earlier year wallace was bringing back superman and his boat caught fire.

Together

Darwin and wallace came to the same conclusion about evolution.

They published a paper together on evolution.

Darwin published a book on the origin of species and wallace faded away.

My opinion

I find it interesting how they tried to do this together and it ended up being darwin taking a lot of the credit and wallace just stayed quiet while continuing his research.
