A crisis in the history of scientific discovery

Patrick Matthew.
The Biological Father
of Natural Selection

Progress in search engine technology facilitated research in Google's Library Project of over 30 million searchable books and other publications, which led to game changing discoveries that transform the unique anomaly of Darwin's and Wallace's claimed dual independent discoveries of Matthew's prior-published original ideas from a vexation into a crisis in the history of scientific discovery.

The issue of Patrick Mathew's priority over Darwin and Wallace for his own prior-published and cited discovery is not something that the history of scientific discovery can ethically or sensibly ignore if it is to be of any use in helping us to understand how the discovery of natural selection occurred. Such knowledge is important, because it is fundamental in developing ways to increase the chances of making other great discoveries in the future.
