George believes Wallace needs a Rottweiler, to give him back the recognition he deserves. While Wallace and Darwin had their great idea presented to the world jointly, Darwin was present, while Wallace was on the other side of the world in Malaysia collecting insects. By the time Wallace returned, Darwin had published the idea in his own book, on The Origin of Species, rocketing him to international fame. I have a feeling actually that Darwin might have been a bit guilty about what happened in later years. And in later years when Wallace had fallen on very hard times, Darwin was instrumental in getting Wallace a government pension. He went to enormous trouble to actually petition Gladstone and got lots of signatories to get this pension, so that, you know, Wallace wouldn' t have to live in poverty. So he had a conscience. Yep. But George has ensured that Wallace isn' t completely absent from the museum. This is the rare region. He' s successfully lobbied to get a piece of his hero' s legacy into the collection. |
