- The unveiling of the first ever statue of the great 19th century naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), who independently discovered evolution by natural selection in Indonesia and jointly published the theory with Charles Darwin in 1858. The statue was donated to London's Natural History Museum by the A. R. Wallace Memorial Fund, where it was unveiled by Sir David Attenborough on the 7th November 2013 - the 100th anniversary of Wallace's death. Before it was unveiled Wallace's grandson Richard and comedian Bill Bailey (Patron of the Wallace Memorial Fund) gave excellent speeches, which can be heard in this video.

Sir David Attenborough doesn’t need notes what a man! I feel privileged to be here to witness him.
A very worthwhile recognition of one of the unsung heroes of science and natural history. In an age of instant celebrity and dubious fame, this is true and enduring fame with enormous impact to our understanding of the natural world. Well done Bill Bailey and Sir David Attenborough for your marvelous speeches and the contributors for all their efforts.
Superbly put.
I watched the TV series created by Bill Bailey on Wallace and I must admit that I had never heard of Wallace up until that time and I was totally in awe of the man. The TV series was so bloody good !!
Bill Bailey should step up the the plate when we inevitably lose the titan that is David Attenborough. You can tell he loves the natural world and it adds so much to voiceover on those programs compared to having just any old actor read a script.
Would you have a name or link to that series?
I dont think I've ever seen Sir David gesticulate so much 😄
Is the Museum over a train station? Sculpture is an everlasting tribute to Wallace. Wonderful
Fitting that Wallace is posed in action. On the job ! While Darwin is slumped and seated. At last ! Well played Bill.
Wonderful speeches.
David Attenborough better get a statue like this.
All those people standing so close together... pre covid crowds are nostalgia now 😉
WOW. Is that over-dudded or is there some kind of awesome noise cancelling system in use. Every time Bailey pauses for a breath , you can hear the background noise, but it totally disappears when he speaks . At first I thought that Bailey's quips were falling flat.
Thank you for sharing
Weird seeing people without masks. What great speaches given. Well done, especially Bill Bailey.
Very very well done
thanks for the run up
Those trousers are very high.
Wallace v Darwin its Wallace for me , from a modest background ,and having to self fund his own expeditiony research he did not have the luxury of Darwin's grand expedition and Darwin's father's insights into evolution .Wallace did it the hard way ,extensive field study, it's nice to see Darwin's moon finally get a day in the sun
They were really great speeches BUT...I just hope the Museum had at least offered & recommended the microphone and a chair on the stage for Sir David Attenborough to stay seated while he gave his speech...I'm sure he probably would've rejected (or did reject) the proposal anyway
They didn't point the camera at the line of Wallace's gaze to show the butterfly?
From what Bailey said, it's not there yet.
Wallace as in the Wallace line ?
Dr Norway Fridge That's him!
blaberus1 LOL I live on the good side of it
Mr. George Beccaloni, how can I contact you? Thank you

Thank you very much @@blaberus1
It was great reading how Darwin made sure Wallace was looked after in old age. He made sure he received a pension and the means to live out his life as he so rightly deserved. They remained on good terms until Darwin's passing and Wallace never allowed Darwin's name to be put down although they had a difference of opinions later in life.
You can see Wallace never went anywhere without his satchel!
There's an AWFUL lot of compresson on that microphone!
Australia should rename the Capital of the Northern Territory, from Darwin to Wallace, or maybe Darlace?
Or Wallwin?
Wonderful
20 minutes of standing around. God love those older people and their aching joints.
What is Wallace holding in his right hand ?
+Frenchlad A butterfly net - but in the video you can't see it properly. It was actually based on a photo of my hand holding my butterfly net!
+blaberus1 Do you know an article, a video or a table explaining simply and briefly the differences between Wallace's theory and Darwin's ? (in French, if possible)
+Frenchlad There is no difference - their theories of natural selection were the same and were published together in 1858.
+blaberus1 1) I was told that Wallace shared with Darwin the concept of adaptation, but not in the sense of a general progress (from the worse to the ideal). It seems that Wallace had no value judgment. 2) How would you explain his very restricted popularity, compared to Darwin's ?
One difference apparently was that Wallace believed selection happens among the whole group (or species) where Darwin believed it happened at individual level. Eventually Darwin convinced Wallace to come around to his view. But this is a repeat of someone else's remarks, I don't know if that was the actually difference between their opinions
Climate data. Tony Heller. TH-cam
Sculpture does not look like Bailey sad it will look :D
Why do you want to disprove God? Answer so you don't have to worry about what sins you do. Live by morals but where do these come from? We not just animals we have a spirit and understanding of the answers to life. The bible tells us the answers. Jesus told us the answers.
Get fucked, go spread your dogma elsewhere.
