Blog Post #1


1.      1. Alfred Russel Wallace
2.    2.  Wallace supplied Darwin with the birds to test his theory of natural selection and he also had almost the same theory of natural selection which helped to support Darwin’s theory. (http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/_0/history_14)
3.   3.    I would say that Wallace directly influenced all of the bullet points because it said in the book that he was the co-founder of natural selection. I believe it was all helpful because it gave Darwin another scientist who found the same points to be true about evolution.
4.     4.  Yes Darwin did come up with his theory without the influence of Wallace but the fact that Wallace had come up with almost the same exact theory Darwin was able to solidify his theory.
5.     5.  I think the way the church responded to Darwin about his theory of evolution made it that much more satisfying when he published his book and many of the people and most branches of science adopted the belief of evolution.
