| Meer info | Translation of "The Malay Archipelago; the Land of the Orang-utan and the Bird of Paradise". Wallace was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and biologist, best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection. From 1854 to 1862 Wallace travelled through the East Indies to collect specimens for sale and to study natural history. Wallace had as many as a hundred assistants who collected on his behalf. Among these, his most trusted assistant was a Malay by the name of Ali who later called himself Ali Wallace. While Wallace collected insects, many of the bird specimens were collected by his assistants including around 5000 collected and prepared by Ali. |
