View On Darwin
Brake has stated that Charles Darwin did not have the version of the theory of evolution described in his 1859 Origin of Species until after he had become aware of Alfred Russel Wallace's theory, published in 1855 and 1856, and in a letter to Darwin in 1857. This view has been contested.

Famous quotes containing the words view and/or darwin:
“The temples, the tank, the jail, the palace, the birds, the carrion, the Guest House, that came into view as they issued from the gap and saw Mau beneath: they didn’t want it, they said in their hundred voices, “No, not yet,” and the sky said, “No, not there.””
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
