Alfred Russel Wallace
Alfred Russel Wallace is an English naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist and illustrator. It is known for its formulation independent of evolution by natural selection; His articles on this subject were published with a number of articles by Charles Darwin in 1858. This prompted Darwin to publish On the Origin of Species. Like Darwin, Wallace did a lot of field research; first in the Amazon Basin and then in the Malay Archipelago, where he identified a division of fauna now known as the Wallace Road, which divides the Indonesian archipelago into two distinct parts: a side part to the west, where the fauna is mainly of Asian origin, and the eastern part where the fauna reflects Australasia. He is considered the leading 19th century expert on the geographic distribution of animals and is sometimes referred to as the “father of biological geography”.
