historical Influences on Charles Darwin
1. I think that Alfred Russell Wallace had the most influence on Darwin's theory. His influence was a positive thing for Darwin because they believed in the same thing as one another. Wallace ended up sharing his theory and Darwin put it out in public before him for all the credit.
2. Wallace contributed to the scientific community by going our on expeditions to get the facts that he needed to support his hypothesis. He only told people what he knew what true and not what he thought was true.

3. I think that "Organisms with better access to resources will be more successful in their reproductive efforts" is the one that most affected Wallace's work. He believed that whoever can get the most things that they need to live will be the ones that produce more and have more offspring. This influenced the theory by showing that animals with less resources are unable to have as many offspring.
4. I don't think that Darwin could have developed the theory without the help of Wallace just because of the fact that there is so much thought and specific detail for one person to figure out on their own. he wouldn't have had it all correct if he didn't have any influence of Wallace helping him out.
5. People from the church believe Darwin but also believe that God made it this way for a reason. But, there were also people who were completely against it and thought he was going against God.
