Darwin & Wallace

I cannot begin to express what a very great joy it is to find this online;

It is more than appropriate to see Wallace receive some of the requisite acknowledgement he deserves. Don't mis-interpret me here, I am a huge supporter of Darwin. His abundance of collected evidence and the depth of his studies lent massive credence to these theories. Lest we forget however, Wallace came to strikingly similar conclusions independently and I for one believe he deserves greater, wider recognition on a par with that received by Darwin.

Whatever your opinion on that however it is an inexpressibly wonderful Joy to be able to scan their joint paper through the wonderful world-opening auspices of the Internet.
