About this recording
The Malay Archipelago is a classical Victorian work combining natural history, biogeography and ethnology while describing Wallace's travels in that region during the 1850s and early 1860s. Wallace contributed to the description of natural selection as a process in the evolution of species, along with Charles Darwin. (Summary by Gail Timmerman-Vaughan)
