He was a gentleman "farmer" from a wealthy family who stole Alfred Russell Wallace's idea of natural selection. Hot damn! I am impressed, Brumar. I thought I was one of the few around here who realized this. I am a fan of Victorian mad dogs and Englishmen travel writing. I was reading Wallace's book on his travels in Brazil, the Rio Negro area, to be precise, when I read his discussion. It blew me out of my chair. I really thought I had discovered something but of course found out later that the issue is a bit more complex than that. You say in a later post that Wallace published his ideas in 1858; the Rio Negro book, where I first found them, though sketched very briefly, was published for the first time in 1853, 5 years earlier. Read the book, a treasure. Except to say that they appear in the book's first half, I won't give you a hint as to where the ideas appear. wku.edu
