This week marks the centenary of the death of Welsh naturalist and explorer Alfred Russel Wallace. He was a hugely famous scientist in聽the Victorian and early Edwardian Era, and聽the co-discoverer of evolution by natural selection alongside Charles Darwin, but his name has been largely forgotten, and his work overlooked, and been overshadowed by that of Darwin. Adam Walton explores the life and work of Wallace, and meets staunch Wallace supporter George Beccaloni behind the scenes at the Natural History Museum in London, now home to the Wallace Family Archive. We also visit the National Museum Cardiff, where senior conservation officer Julian Carter takes Adam on a tour of their exhibiton, running 'til March 2014 called "Wallace: The Forgotten Evoluitionist?". Reporter Alan Daulby聽meets some students at聽the University of聽South Wales who have recently been聽following Wallace's footsteps on a field trip to聽Borneo. We also hear quotes from Aldred Russel Wallace read by Ioan Hefin of Theatr聽Na N么g, who have produced two stage shows about the great聽Victorian.聽
