Alfred Russel Wallace
Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist, explorer, and biologist, best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection alongside Charles Darwin. His extensive field studies in the Amazon River basin and the Malay Archipelago led to significant discoveries regarding the distribution of species and the concept of biogeography. Wallace is also recognized for formulating the concept of the 'Wallace Line,' a boundary that delineates the distinct biological communities of Asia and Australia. His contributions to evolutionary biology and ecology have had a lasting impact on the scientific community.
