Alfred Russell Wallace was a scientist who conducted research around the same time that Darwin did about evolution. He even sent Darwin a paper with his findings. Wallace served as a way of conformation to Darwin and his theories so as he could see that others had the same ideas and thoughts. He and Darwin even worked together in a paper. Wallace's thoughts influenced Darwin heavily when creating his book, On the Origin of Species. Although he was not as famous as Darwin, Wallace is considered to be one of the leading biologists in the 19th century. Wallace also is said to be the father of Biogeography.
