Book Description
First edition. With the publication of the Geographical Distribution of Animals Wallace 'established evolutionary zoogeography on its modern foundation… [and] few, if any, subsequent works have been more important to the subject' (DSB).
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was a notable English naturalist, evolutionist, geographer, anthropologist, social critic, and the co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of the theory of evolution and natural selection.
