Alfred Russel Wallace is a British naturalist, geographer, anthropologist, explorer, and is most known for producing the theory of evolution through the process of natural selection, or the way species adapt to their surroundings in order to stay alive and reproduce. Darwin and Wallace came up with similar theories on evolution. Even though Wallace had came up with basically the same theory as Darwin, he was not known as well as Darwin was. Both theorized that organisms change over time; life on earth has changed from their common ancestors in the past, and evolution occurs by natural selection, or the process in which living things with beneficial traits that produces a lot of offspring than others.
