The Pioneering Classics
The foundation of natural history selection was laid by two towering figures: Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Darwin's seminal work, "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859, ignited a scientific revolution. Wallace, independently working on similar ideas, published his theory in 1858, recognizing the role of natural selection in driving evolutionary change.
These groundbreaking classics shook the scientific community and sparked a surge of interest in the study of natural history. Naturalists embarked on expeditions to remote corners of the globe, meticulously documenting the astonishing variety of life forms and their adaptations to diverse environments.
