    Alfred Russel Wallace was ten times the naturalist and scientist as was Darwin. He eventually completely rejected the hypothesis he had shared with Darwin as a young man. Consider the title of his last book -

    “The World of Life: A Manifestation of of Creative Power, Directive Mind and Ultimate Purpose.” (1911)

    His earlier “Man’s Place in the Universe” (1905) demonstrates his command of the science of his day. A pioneer environmentalist, he recognized the dangers of the atmospheric pollution associated with the Industrial Age and correctly identified CO2 (carbonic acid) as the culprit.

    “Remember! We claim to be people of high civilization, of advanced science, of geat humanity, of enormous wealth! For very shame do not let us say “We CANNOT arrange matters so that our people may all breathe unpolluted, unpoisoned air.”
    page 257 caps in italics in the original.

    Wallace is vastly underestimated as Darwin is even more vastly overestimated.
