In his 1910 preface Alfred Russel Wallace writes that his book, subtitled “A Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind and Ultimate Purpose, ” is a half-century of thought on evolution, covering plant life, geological formations, natural selection and, finally (going a step further than Darwin), the idea that evolution might suggest that the universe had a purpose or a “Life Principle”—the ultimate purpose of that life-development being Man.

Sobre el autor
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 – 1913) was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist and biologist who wrote on both scientific and social issues. Independently developing a theory of evolution based on natural selection, he still encouraged Darwin to publish his own evolution theory. One of his best known works, Malay Archipelago, helped to create “biogeography, ” the study of environmental impacts of human activity. Wallace’s Spiritualism was to influence his scientific thinking (as expressed in The World of Life, published in 1910), creating critical skepticism with the scientific establishment of his day.
