Darwin, Wallace, and my headache

I cannot blame Darwin or Wallace for my headache, I think it is constant climate change to be fair and being a bit tired.

I am reading about the Darwin-Wallace papers and their early reception amongst 19th century naturalists, interesting stuff because many of the first who heard Darwin & Wallace's theories missed the whole natural selection thing because they were focusing on something else and missed the point to some extent.


And...well poor Wallace gets forgotten often...and he had a lot to do with Origin of Species getting published...
