No botanist or zoologist recognized the genesis of a new biology in the last days of June in 1858, when the paradigm shifted from a Carolus von Linné idea of the fixity of species designed by The Creator to Darwin-Wallace's ideas of evolution, that is descent with modification generated by Natural Selection. A series of events occurred with consequences not only for the history of science, but for human history worldwide. On June 18, Darwin in the English countryside received a letter from A. R. Wallace from Indonesia. Only ten days later, on July 1, 1858, both Wallace's and Darwin's papers were presented at a hot, boring session of the Linnean Society of London, encouraged by Lyell and Hooker. Neither author was there. The Darwin-Wallace presentation impelled Darwin to complete his book begun decades earlier On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. It was finally published by John Murray on November 24, 1859 and sold out, mostly to booksellers on the same day.
