It's a sad story. He was all set to publish a paper on natural selection before Darwin, but made the mistake of sending it to Darwin. So that didn't quite happen.

ac - To be fair to Darwin he'd been sitting on the discovery for 20 years. After Wallace sent him the paper he rushed to print Origin of Species. He did acknowledge that Wallace figured it out to, it wasn't like the Newton/Leibniz fight.

I think the reason it wasn't like Newton/Leibniz was that Wallace was self-effacing.

Darwin's theory was all worked out, Wallace's sketchier. But he would have beaten him to the presses, if he hadn't sent the paper to Darwin first.
