Alfred Russel Wallace

Der Malaiische Archipel

Bereits ein Jahr, bevor Charles Darwin seine Evolutionstheorie veröffentlicht, hat Alfred Russel Wallace Evolutionsmechanismen zu Papier gebracht, die verblüffende Ähnlichkeiten mit Darwins später publizierten Überlegungen aufweisen.

This has resulted in the need to further analyze rural strategies that contribute towards a better life for the population of territories where armed conflict is coming to an end, whilst understanding the pressing uncertainty that this process implies; on the one hand, for the urgency of generating...
