Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace worked independently to explain how and why evolutionary changes occur, eventually leading to the explanation of the mechanism called natural selection.
The mechanism of natural selection for evolutionary change was independently discovered by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. They had differing perspectives on how selection functioned, though. Darwin always viewed selection as being for the benefit of the individual. Wallace felt that both the group and the individual benefited from the choice.
This discrepancy can be attributed to their divergent political-economic backgrounds; Darwin supported Adam Smith's socioeconomic theory, whereas Wallace adopted Robert Owen's socialist stance.
