Kudos, Soilguy, great post. See how overlooked Wallace is, I got his first name wrong! Something I will never forget - the evening, July 1, 1858, the night that Darwin's and Wallace's Papers were read in public at the Linnean Society in London, Darwin was at home, "attending to an illness in the family". Or maybe he was ashamed to appear in public. Wallace was in New Guinea collecting lizards and birds and butterflies. Just as he would the next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Eating roots and tubers and nuts, swatting mosquitoes and dealing with Trenchfoot and skin ulcers and malaria. Darwin. What a wimp!
