Dr. Alfred R. Wallace (S707ag: 1914)
Editor Charles H. Smith's Note: The June 1914 issue of The Forum (New York) featured a long
article by Elmer J. Kneale entitled "Darwin, Science and the Church; The Last Word of Science
and the Church on the Teachings of Darwin: A Symposium." Kneale solicited opinions from
many individuals, including Wallace, whose comments appeared on page 824 of the article. To

Dr. Alfred R. Wallace
Famous as the originator with Darwin of the theory of "Natural Selection"
[Over fifty years ago while in the Malay Archipelago, and while unaware of Darwin's
work, Dr. Wallace formulated a theory practically identical with that of Darwin on
natural selection.]
My last book, The World of Life, shows that I uphold the Darwinian theory as much as ever.
The view of Sir E. Ray Lankester on this subject is, I believe, identical with my own.
Yours very truly,
Alfred R. Wallace.
