Darwin and Wallace's original papers to the Linnean Society (published 1858) are fascinating reads, showing how they each developed the concept of natural selection. The foreword by Lyell and Hooker makes clear that Darwin was very reluctant to publish!
Both mention artificial selection, but […]
📖 #OTD in #History 20 August 1858, #CharlesDarwin and #AlfredRusselWallace first published their theories of #evolution through natural selection in the joint paper "On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties" in The Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London.
📜 #OTD in the #History of #Science 1 July 1858, the joint reading of papers by #CharlesDarwin and #AlfredRusselWallace on the theory of #evolution by natural selection took place at a Linnean Society meeting in London. Neither author was present.
📖 #OTD in the #History of #Science 18 June 1858, #CharlesDarwin received a paper from #AlfredRusselWallace that laid out a theory of #Evolution and #NaturalSelection very similar to #Darwin's own. Darwin resolved to finally publish the theory he had worked on for many years.
