More than a decade after Darwin returned from his voyage on the HMS
Beagle, an explorer named Alfred Wallace voyaged to the Malay Islands.
Wallace was struck by the biodiversity of the islands. In particular, he noticed
animals with structures designed to attack plants, and plants with structures
designed to protect them from animals. Wallace reasoned that differences
among individuals provided advantages that gradually led to evolution. He
immediately sent a manuscript describing his idea to Charles Lyell, who then
shared the manuscript with Darwin. Wallace's model of evolution by natural
selection was published a paper that appeared in the same issue as Darwin's
paper.
Unlike Wallace, Darwin did not believe that natural selection required
variation among individuals. - -False
