Alfred R. Wallace (1823-1913) was a British naturalist, best known for independently proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection. #nathist #histsci

Excellent . I tip my hat to this wonderful gent, champion of nature, father of biogeography, co-originator of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, writer , relentless pursuer of knowledge , who helped us all in our understanding of the planet.

@edhollox Yes, I have been to see the school a few times. Such a shame that it is right next to that busy road. Moving to Bluesky is worth a try. We are on FaceBook as well, but thanks to a hacker my FB account was suspended so I have to ask other Admins to post stuff on the page for me...

I am thinking of stopping posting on X, as there is so little response to my posts. I guess they are not reaching the right people, and it is unclear how they can do so.

The final three and a half pages of Alfred Russel Wallace's "The Malay Archipelago" should by read and re-read and inwardly digested and made a perpetual life lesson by every thinking human on this planet.

(The idea has been expressed for centuries, yet, here we are.)

Travel with Wallace scholar, Dr George Beccaloni, to some of the most incredible places that Alfred Russel Wallace visited during his epic 8 year expedition to "the Malay Archipelago". See https://t.co/FzetG7WoXG

@gtredoux Wallace completely rejected eugenics, calling it “the meddlesome interference of an arrogant, scientific priestcraft”. See this recent paper: https://t.co/DMIkUjdrW5

New article by George Beccaloni: "Did Alfred Russel Wallace’s chief assistant from his expedition to the Malay Archipelago really name himself Ali Wallace?" See https://t.co/wIYK40qGJq

Excellent multimedia Wallace-related article by travel writer Mark Stratton: https://t.co/Jxvk8toF4N

@gtredoux Of course Wallace's views changed during his life. For a summary of what he believed in 1869 read from page 459 of his book "The Malay Archipelago" here: https://t.co/yWZOBredL3

From Ternate to Dodinga, Halmahera, North Maluku – where history meets nature! British Ambassador @DomJermey commemorated Alfred Russel Wallace’s discovery of natural selection ✨, a legacy inspiring global efforts to protect biodiversity. 🌏

Hosted by the North Maluku Government and joined by Wallace’s great-grandson William Wallace, and Wallace expert Dr. George Beccaloni, Ambassador Jermey unveiled a plaque in honour of Wallace’s scientific achievements in Indonesia.

The UK is working together with Indonesia to tackle climate change, foster biodiversity conservation, and drive sustainable development. 🇬🇧🤝🇲🇨

Together, let’s celebrate Wallace’s legacy and strengthen our efforts to protect biodiversity and build a prosperous and sustainable future – a liveable planet where people and nature thrive 🌿💙.

https://t.co/Qr3WpWpY7Y On a beautiful morning in Ternate—the island where Alfred Russel Wallace co-developed the theory of evolution by natural selection—I sat down with UK Ambassador @DomJermey to discuss how Indonesia can position itself as a global hub for scientific research and innovation. Our conversation also touched on complex issues such as deforestation regulations and the repatriation of cultural heritage, both of which carry deep historical and environmental significance for Indonesia.

This exchange was part of the commemoration of 75 years of strong diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Indonesia, highlighting the role of science diplomacy in strengthening bilateral ties. By fostering international collaboration in conservation, biodiversity research, and heritage preservation, Indonesia not only reinforces its commitment to sustainable development and cultural integrity but also affirms its position as a key player in global scientific and environmental leadership.

Monument in Dodinga Village on Halmahera Island, Moluccas, Indonesia, which commemorates Wallace's discovery of natural selection there in February 1858. It was unveiled in October last year.

Many evolutionary biologists are pretty uninformed about the history of their subject. An example is the history of the term "neo-Darwinian". Here is a short article which hopefully clarifies the situation: https://t.co/BdsZz1DxPZ

An interesting article about Alfred Russel Wallace's legal battle with flat earther John Hampden, author of "Shewing the World to be a Stationary Plane and not a Revolving Globe". https://t.co/vXR2bxcPsR
