Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alfred Russel Wallace proposed a mechanism for evolution that was very similar to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. They both independently arrived at the idea that species evolve through the process of natural selection. Jean Baptiste Lamarck also proposed a mechanism for evolution, but his theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics was later discredited. Charles Lyell and Robert Fitzroy were contemporaries of Darwin and Wallace, but they did not propose a mechanism for evolution similar to natural selection.
