- Alfred Russel Wallace

About this Quote

In this quote, Alfred Russel Wallace, a prominent biologist, is discussing the progressing point of view of his fellow biologists. He keeps in mind that they are beginning to move far from the traditional belief that the variety of animal life is entirely figured out by natural selection. Rather, they are starting to acknowledge that there must be another underlying force at play. This awareness recommends that there is a deeper, more intricate concept that governs the large range of animal types on our planet. This shift in thinking highlights the ever-evolving nature of scientific understanding and the constant search for new knowledge and explanations.
