SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Michael Gumert, Department of Evolutionary Psychology and Primatology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore : \u003cbr/\u003e\"Wallace was largely overshadowed by Darwin because what Darwin did in presenting his theory of natural selection was he had meticulously amassed all this information and data to support his theory whereas Wallace had more quickly come to it. Wallace was a specimen collector. He collected wildlife, he collected plants and he would send these back to England. So he saw great variation in natural life and so he could come to that conclusion very quickly that there wasn't these static forms of life, that they were gradually changing. And so he quickly came to this notion of evolution and then discovered that natural selection would be the mechanism for it. But Darwin's the one who really nailed it down and proved it in his work 'The Origin of Species'.\"\u003cbr/\u003e12.

anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and this year also sees the 150th anniversary of the publication of his work on evolution called 'On The Origin of Species'. \u003cbr/\u003eHowever, Alfred Wallace, the man who is jointly credited with the discovery of evolution alongside Darwin is largely forgotten. \u003cbr/\u003eVisitors to Singapore Zoo can see animals that are unique to the South East Asia region from the famous \u003cbr/\u003eorangutans to lesser known primates like siamang monkeys and Malaysian tapirs. \u003cbr/\u003eThese are some of the creatures that naturalist Alfred Wallace would have documented on his voyage around the region. \u003cbr/\u003eWallace was a student of Charles Darwin's writings and inspired by his work, Wallace undertook a journey beginning in 1854 that took him to many of the islands around Singapore and modern-day Indonesia. \u003cbr/\u003eIn his book  'The Malay Archipelago', Wallace noted the differences between regional species. \u003cbr/\u003eProfessor Michael Gumert, teaches Evolutionary Psychology and Primatology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says that Wallace was interested in how geography influenced the development of organisms, a science which is now called biogeography. \u003cbr/\u003eFor Wallace, Singapore was just a stopping off point on his way to Borneo. \u003cbr/\u003eThe naturalist was nevertheless impressed by his findings in the area in Singapore known as Bukit Timah, and in his book he declared: \"In all my subsequent travels in the East I rarely if ever met with so productive a spot.\" \u003cbr/\u003e150 years ago, the rich vegetation of Bukit Timah provided a natural habitat not just for beetles, squirrels and monkeys but also tigers, which could be found in Singapore until the 1930s. \u003cbr/\u003eWallace was a collector of animals and insects and much of his collection can now be seen in London's Natural History Museum. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter his stay in Singapore, Wallace travelled East stopping on the islands of Borneo, Sulawesi, Bali and Lombok.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was during these travels that he came across the animals that were to help him to develop his theory of what is now known as 'The Wallace line' - an imaginary divide separating the islands. \u003cbr/\u003eWallace found that that the flora and fauna found to the East of this line were more Australian, marsupials etc  while the life found to the West of this line was predominately Asian. \u003cbr/\u003eTo substantiate these findings, his writings included descriptions of Malaysian Tapirs, Babirusa, different species of monkeys and, of course, tigers.\u003cbr/\u003eDarwin and Wallace wrote to each other to discuss their theories and on July 1 1858, Charles Darwin presented the ideas on evolution and natural selection of both men to a meeting of the Linnean Society. \u003cbr/\u003eHe credited Wallace as a collaborator, though he was not present. \u003cbr/\u003eWallace dedicated his book 'The Malay Archipelago' to Darwin whom he considered a friend and colleague. \u003cbr/\u003eBut despite Wallace's findings, it is Darwin and his book 'On the Origin of Species' that is still widely recognised today as forming the basis for the theory of evolution.\u003cbr/\u003eGumert says that Darwin's carefully documentation of his work means that he was able to make a convincing case for the theory of evolution and natural selection in 'On the Origin of Species'. \u003cbr/\u003eDarwin's book changed the way we think about the world we live in and the development of all living organisms including ourselves. \u003cbr/\u003eOne hundred and fifty years after Darwin's publication of his work his theory is still recognised as one of the most important works of science, whilst his collaborator Alfred Wallace has become the 'forgotten evolutionist'.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container
