A short talk about Alfred Russel Wallace's travels in what is now Indonesia in the mid-19th century. Whilst there he not only discovered thousands of species new to science, but also The Wallace Line, and the theory of evolution by natural selection, which was jointly published with Charles Darwin in 1858.

This animation shows the journeys made by Alfred Russel Wallace from 1854 to 1862 around the 'Malay Archipelago' - what is now Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and East Timor. The video was made in 2013 by the Singapore Science Centre, as part of an exhibition they ran to celebrate Wallace's life and work.

It was hosted by Wonderfest (wonderfest.org), in association with the Alameda Free Library and the San Francisco Public Library, USA. George is introduced by Dr Tucker Hiatt.
