 Alfred Russel Wallace, Singapore, beetles, evolution by Paul Spencer Sochaczewski
Although Wallace's paper was also read into the record at the same meeting, Hooker and Lyell had clearly made the evening Darwin's by ensuring that the older and certainly more famous scientist received top billing.

And the biggest blow was that, by placing Wallace's paper sequentially after Darwin's hastily prepared notes and his letter to American botanist Asa Gray, they relegated Wallace to a supporting role in comparison to Darwin, a position from which Wallace has never emerged.
