EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Alfred Russel Wallace's Annotated Back Page of the 1858 Joint Paper with Charles Darwin" This image showcases the back page of Alfred Russel Wallace's annotated copy of the groundbreaking 1858 paper he jointly submitted with Charles Darwin to the Linnean Society of London. The paper, which presented their theories on the natural selection of species, revolutionized the scientific understanding of evolution. Wallace, a contemporary of Darwin and a prolific naturalist, had conducted extensive research in the Malay Archipelago, leading him to develop similar theories on natural selection independently. In this image, we see Wallace's meticulous handwriting, revealing his thought process and insights as he annotated the back page of the published paper. The Victorian era, during which this paper was published (1823-1913), was a time of significant scientific discovery and exploration. The 19th century saw the emergence of numerous scientific societies, including the Linnean Society, which played a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge through the dissemination of research and the promotion of scientific debate. The annotated back page of Wallace's copy of the paper is a testament to the collaborative spirit of scientific inquiry during this period. It also underscores the importance of primary sources in understanding the historical context of scientific discoveries and the role of individuals like Wallace and Darwin in shaping our understanding of the natural world. This image, from the Wallace Papers held at the Natural History Museum in London, offers a unique glimpse into the minds of two of the most influential figures in the history of biology. It serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of their work and the importance of preserving historical documents for future generations.
