As part of the Wallace100 celebrations taking part in 2013, the Natural History
Museum will be hosting a monthly lecture series. These lectures are part of the
Museum's participation in Wallace100, an international programme of projects
and events celebrating the centenary of Wallace's death on 7 November 2013. At
these monthly events, leading biologists and historians will discuss different
aspects of Wallace's life and work. The series also highlights the significance
of the Museum as a focal point for Wallace collections and studies.
The Natural History Museum, 6 June 2013 16:30 - 17:30 Flett Events Theatre
Prof James Moore - 'Making Livings: Why Darwin's and Wallace's theories were
worlds apart'
In the 5th in our series of Wallace100 lectures, James Moore, acclaimed author
and history of science professor, explores how different the Victorian
naturalists, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, were in their
socio-economic backgrounds and in their thinking about evolution.

Personally no less than professionally, Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles
Darwin were chalk and cheese. 'I fear we shall never quite understand each
other,' an exasperated Darwin once wrote to Wallace. And the gulf between them
was deeper and wider than anyone has yet grasped.
James Moore will tackle Darwin's and Wallace's supposed 'independent discovery'
of the theory of natural selection by showing that from the start their
theories were as different as the men themselves, as far apart as the ways in
which they saw all species make their livings.
About James Moore

Darwin (1991), now in 10 languages, and Darwin Sacred Cause: Race, Slavery and
