In his 1910 preface Alfred Russel Wallace writes that his book, subtitled "A Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind and Ultimate Purpose," is a half-century of thought on evolution, covering plant life, geological formations, natural selection and, finally (going a step further than Darwin), the idea that evolution might suggest that the universe had a purpose or a "Life Principle"-the ultimate purpose of that life-development being Man.

Volume 2 (of 2) Alfred Russel Wallace (8 January 1823 – 7 November 1913) was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist and illustrator. He is best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection; his paper on the subject was jointly published with some of Charles Darwin's writings in 1858. This prompted Darwin to publish On the Origin of Species. (Source: Wikipedia)
