Well, you can chat with an AI system designed to mimic Wallace.

Medals Awarded to Discoverer of Evolution by Natural Selection to be Sold

Well, not really, but on this day in 1858, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace's independently originated identical theories of evolution by natural selection, were announced at a meeting of the Linnean Society of London. Their joint paper on the subject was published a month later, revolutionising the field of biology and shaking the foundations of religious belief (and, no, the paper was not ignored as many have said, look out for a paper I will be publishing soon!).
