Special Event
Although Alfred Russel Wallace co-discovered the theory of evolution by natural selection with Charles Darwin, he has held a relatively obscure place in the history of science. This year marks the centenary of his death and the Harvard Museum of Natural History, in conjunction with the Cambridge Science Festival, is celebrating Wallace's rich legacy with "Wallace Day.” Learn more about a brilliant scientist, a heroic naturalist, and a passionate social reformer.
