Darwin, Wallace, and the Path to 1859
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace independently reasoned to natural selection, jointly presenting the idea in 1858 before Darwin's 1859 On the Origin of Species.
Show
Darwin's 1831–1836 Beagle voyage, including stops in the Galápagos, supplied observations his natural-selection argument later drew on.
Watch for
The Beagle voyage did not deliver the theory — Darwin argued it two decades before publishing, once Wallace reached it.
