Extract of a letter from Wallace to Bates, written in 1847.
1847
A plan to study
Wallace writes to Bates about looking for evidence of evolution:
'I shd [should] like to take some one family, to study thoroughly - principally with a view to
the theory of the origin of species. By that means I am strongly of [the] opinion that some
definite results might be arrived at.'
Insects from Alfred Russel Wallace’s personal collection, caught in Southeast Asia
between 1854 and 1862, now cared for by the Natural History Museum.
