Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist renowned for co-developing the theory of evolution alongside Charles Darwin .

He was born in 1823 in Wales , and his early life in Wales exposed him to 19th-century rural struggles.

Wallace 's observations of social exploitation in Wales and the Archipelago compelled him to take a stand against the British establishment in his homeland and its colonial ventures abroad.

Wallace condemned the environmental impact of colonial mining in the Malay Archipelago , especially those targeting gold and tin.

Modern historians and scientists hail Wallace as one of the bravest figures of the 19th century .

Wallace 's foresight was rare at his time, and his warning was even more striking.
