Wallace didn’t drop into Darwin’s life quite as unexpectedly as is sometimes suggested.The two were already corresponding,and Wallace had more than once generously sent Darwin specimens that he thought might be of interest.In the process of these exchanges Darwin had discreetly warned Wallace that he regarded the subject of species creation as his own territory.“This summer will make the 20th year ) since I opened my first note-book,on the question of how & in what way do species & varieties differ from each other,” he had written to Wallace some time earlier.“I am now preparing my work for publication,” he added,even though he wasn’t really.
In any case,Wallace failed to grasp what Darwin was trying to tell him,and of course he could have no idea that his own theory was so nearly identical to one that Darwin had been evolving,as it were,for two decades.
Darwin was placed in an agonizing quandary.If he rushed into print to preserve his priority,he would be taking advantage of an innocent tip-off from a distant admirer.But if he stepped aside,as gentlemanly conduct arguably required,he would lose credit for a theory that he had independently propounded.Wallace’s theory was,by Wallace’s own admission,the result of a flash of insight; Darwin’s was the product of years of careful,plodding,methodical thought.It was all crushingly unfair.
To compound his misery,Darwin’s youngest son,also named Charles,had contracted scarlet fever and was critically ill.At the height of the crisis,on June 28,the child died.Despite the distraction of his son’s illness,Darwin found time to dash off letters to his friends Charles Lyell and Joseph Hooker,offering to step aside but noting that to do so would mean that all his work,“whatever it may amount to,will be smashed.” Lyell and Hooker came up with the compromise solution of presenting a summary of Darwin’s and Wallace’s ideas together.The venue they settled on was a meeting of the Linnaean Society,which at the time was struggling to find its way back into fashion as a seat of scientific eminence.On July 1,1858,Darwin’s
