Alfred Russel Wallace was the eights child of his sibling and his father was Thomas Vere Wallace. Alfred was born on January 8th 1823 in a place called Kensington cottage. Alfred than became a teacher at a fairy young age and taught in a school in Leicester at the age of 21. When he was in his teaching career he met a fellow named Henry Walter Bates. They connected really well by how they collected fanatical beetles. Due to the similarities they formed a team together and scoured Leicestershire for any specimens. Later on both of them read about Charles Darwin and how they were very famous naturalist travellers they went on board to Brazil with a lot of hope.
Later on the following years Wallace started to help Darwin with his theory. He would send of species of bird to help Darwin find the evidence and facts for evolution. Wallace decided he needed help on publishing his book with his theory on evolution, so he had asked Darwin for help and send him his theory. Darwin got the copy of Wallace's theory on evolution and was in shock since they both almost had the same idea on evolution. They had meetings together and were able to publish Darwin's book which was a best-selling book.
Wallace continued to travel around to find more evidence and study a bit more about natural selection. He was able to collect 100, 000 birds, insects and other organisms specimens that he ended up giving it to the British museums. Unfortunately he had died on November, 7, 1823.
