“The tree of life, understood as an “evolutionary diagram,” is biology’s best-known and most widely used image. It is usually attributed to Charles Darwin, from the only image he presents in The Origin of Species (1859). However, this diagram, usually called “Darwinian”, could have its origin not only in Darwin’s work but also in that of another “Darwinist” author, Alfred R. Wallace. In this paper, we revisit a series of diagrams that Wallace presented before Darwin’s work in 1856, in which, through the relationships between bird species, he sought to present an evolutionary diagram visually. As we will see, the diagrams and their description have limitations that contributed to their lack of understanding. Additionally, we want to discuss the place of the representations proposed by Wallace concerning other visualisations that historically have sought to explain biological evolution.”
