• W21642868 abstract "Introduction On afternoon of July 1, 1858, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) and Joseph Dalton (1817-1911), two friends of a forty-nine-old man who had lost faith in Bible, (1) presented two papers at a meeting of Linnean Society of London. (2) Both papers related to the Laws which affect Production of Varieties, Races, and Species (3) and contained the results of investigations of two indefatigable naturalists, Mr. Charles Darwin and Mr. Alfred Wallace. (4) In their introductory note to papers, Lyell and said: These two gentlemen having, independently and unknown to one another, conceived same very ingenious theory to account for appearance and perpetuation of varieties and of specific forms on our planet, may both fairly claim merit of being thinkers in this important line of inquiry; but neither of them having published his views, though Mr. Darwin has for many years past been repeatedly urged by us to do so, and both authors having now unreservedly placed their papers in our hands, we think it would best promote interests of science that a selection from them should be laid before Linnean Society. (5) While it is true that, despite an attempt to prove otherwise, (6) Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) had, in fact, conceived of natural selection independently and as early as 1839. (7) nevertheless, Hooker and Lyell--Darwin's friends, both of whom were powerful and wellborn members of Royal Society--took action to protect Darwin's 'priority.' (8) Thus popular view would associate only Darwin's name with of natural selection and Wallace would fade out of picture, but at time Darwin received Wallace's paper, (9) he was horrified to see that another person had taken precedent over him and had expressed what he thought was his big idea and original contribution to science. (10) Lyell and had arranged reading of two papers at July 1, 1858 meeting of Linnean Society in such a way that Wallace's paper acted as a sort of coda to Darwin's. Wallace, still in Tropics, did not even know about meeting--nobody told him until it was all over. When he found out, he expressed humble satisfaction of a servant invited to eat at master's table, writing to his mother, sent Mr. Darwin an essay on a subject on which he is now writing a great work. He showed it to Dr. and Sir C. Lyell, who thought so highly of it that they immediately read it before Linnean Society. This assures me acquaintance and assistance of these eminent men on my return home. One wonders what he might have written had he known reason for such speedy publication. But later, when he had divined more of circumstances, he retained his generosity, adding only that he wished he had been given a chance to proof his article. (11) This meeting of Linnean Society (12) would subsequently be called beginning of Darwinian Revolution, the beginning of modern biology, the beginning of a new era in scientific thinking, and by many other similar phrases, but actual event was second only to presentation of Mendel's discovery of laws of genetics as an historical non-event. (13) Darwin's own later recollection of meeting was more realistic: The circumstances under which I consented at request of Lyell and to allow of an extract from my MS., together with a letter to Asa Gray, dated September 5, 1857, to be published at same time with Wallace's Essay, are given in Journal of Proceedings of Linnean Society, 1858, p. 45. I was at first very unwilling to consent, as I thought Mr Wallace might consider my doing so unjustifiable, for I did not then know how generous and noble was his disposition. …" @default.
