Extractions: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 - 1913) Malthus, Thomas Robert (1766 - 1834) English economist, sociologist, and pioneer in modern population study. In "An Essay on the Principle of Population" (1798; 1803) he contended that poverty and distress are unavoidable because population increases faster than the means of subsistence. George Cuvier (1769 - 1832 Comparative anatomist; catastrophist. Rejected evolution; believed in successive special creations. (Note this is pre-Darwin). Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744 - 1829) Late eighteenth-early nineteenth century evolutionist. Although known for his belief in the inheritance of acquired characteristics, he was the first evolutionist. Robert FitzRoy (1805 - 1865 Robert FitzRoy was the 23 year old commander of the H.M.S. Beagle. He hoped the naturalist on board his ship would find evidence to substantiate the biblical, Genesis account of the flood and the first appearance of all created things on the earth. (Britain's Archbishop Ussher calculated that the world was created on a Sunday morning at 9:00 AM, October 25, 4004 BC.) 22 year old Charles Darwin, "a clergyman-to-be, amateur naturalist", seemed to be the right man for this task. Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882)

Extractions: People and places of historical interest in Thurrock Grays - home of Alfred Russel Wallace Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 -1913), the eminent naturalist, moved to Grays in 1872 after being personally involved in the building of his house, 'The Dell', which is made of concrete from local materials and is situated at the end of College Avenue. It is now the Convent owned by the order of La Sainte Union des Sacres Coeurs and will shortly have a commemorative plaque Wallace was famous for working out, independently of Charles Darwin, the theory of evolution based on natural selection and the survival of the fittest. Wallace wrote to Darwin in 1858 from the Malay Archipelago, where he was researching and collecting insects, butterflies and birds, and explained his theory of evolution and asked Darwin to forward his letter to Sir Charles Lyall, the leading geologist of the day. It was arranged for Darwin's Theory of Evolution, which he had been working on but up to this time had not published, and for the letter received from Wallace to be read to the members of the Linnean Society on 1 July 1858. Darwin then published The Origin of the Species. Wallace returned to England in 1862. Whilst living at Grays, Wallace wrote his great work, Geographical Distribution of Animals. He was interested also in Spiritualism. Wallace and his family moved from Grays in 1876. See: A Victorian Scientist at Grays: 1872 - 1876 by Malcolm Chase.
