Alfred Russel Wallace was the co-discoverer with Darwin of evolution by natural selection, and one of the leading natural history explorers of the 19th century. He was a multifaceted scientist, with deep interests in spiritualism, and a surprising naive streak running through his scientific interests, parallel with scientific contributions of the highest probity and importance. In In Darwin's Shadow, Michael Shermer captures all the aspects and facets of Wallace's life and personality.
