Alfred Wallace The Amazon and the Malay Archipelago In age Alfred Russel Wallace could have been the younger brother of Charles Darwin, for Charles was born in 1809 and Alfred only fourteen years later, in 1823.

Evolution, Religion and the Unknown God 5: Alfred Wallace: The Other Darwin My contribution is made as a man of science, as a naturalist, as a man who studies his surroundings to see where he is.
