In 1858, Darwin received a manuscript from Wallace in which Wallace proposed a theory very similar to his own. Darwin first presented his ideas in a joint paper with Wallace that was read to the Linnaean Society also in 1858.
 
  Why do you think history primarily associates Darwin's not Wallace's name with the theory of evolution?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary, but should include: Wallace's generosity in agreeing that Darwin deserved primary credit because of the evidence he had gathered. There also is the possibility that a student has read outside of the text and may mention class and opportunity difference.
