Alfred Russel Wallace was one of the great scientific minds of the nineteenth century, yet he is often remembered as the man standing just outside Darwin's shadow. In this episode, we follow Wallace from rural Wales to the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, tracing the journeys, discoveries, and ideas that helped change biology forever. It is the story of an explorer, collector, thinker, and co-discoverer of natural selection whose legacy deserves far more of the spotlight.
