About the book

Alfred Russel Wallace's The Malay Archipelago records his extensive travels and scientific observations through Southeast Asia during the nineteenth century. Wallace describes wildlife, islands and local communities while developing ideas about evolution and biogeography. His observations contributed directly to the theory of natural selection and remain a classic of scientific travel writing.
