RE: Do You Know His Name? Darwin Co-Author, and Discoverer of the Largest Bee in the World

Great post!
Yes, I know him from my studies on biology.
Why he didn´t become famous? Because nobody can spell "Wallaceism" as easily as Darwinism 😄.
Today, in a society where all shall be equal (even if they aren´t) and have the same possibilities, and inclusion&equality are seemingly the only priorities, and performance and persistence mean nothing, in fact Wallace with his egalitarianism could be re-invented.
But I agree with Darwin. Man is not an exception, evolution is still in place - and merciless.

Sort:  

You know him!! Wonderful. I didn't. He was modest. Never claimed the spotlight. And yet he worked so diligently, contributed so much. I began this blog thinking I was going to write about a very large bee 😄, but then I was captivated by this story of a forgotten giant of science.

Man is not an exception, evolution is still in place - and merciless.

Indeed.

Thanks so much for stopping by, commenting and supporting my blog.
