Contents:

Granted the law, Alfred Russel Wallace's evolutionary travels -- The consilient Mr. Wallace, transmutation and related themes of the Species notebook -- Wallace and Darwin, parallels, intersections and departures on the evolutionary road -- Two indefatigable naturalists, Wallace and Darwin's watershed papers -- A striking coincidence, The Wallace-Darwin papers of 1858 compared -- True with a vengeance, from delicate arrangement to conspiracy: a guide coda -- The force of admiration.

Summary: Wallace, Darwin, and the Origin of Species also reexamines the pivotal episode in 1858 when Wallace sent Darwin a manuscript announcing his discovery of natural selection, prompting a joint public reading of the two men's papers on the subject. Costa's analysis of the "Species Notebook" shines a new light on these readings, further illuminating the independent nature of Wallace's discoveries.
