Darwin at that time had not published his theory, but when Wallace sent him a memoir of his theories, asking him to forward it for publication, several of Darwin's colleagues advised Darwin that he should publish his own thoughts at the same time. Darwin did this in a paper presented to the Linnean Society of London in 1858. |
