In 1858, Darwin and Wallace had their papers on evolution by natural selection read before the Linnean Society and then published in its journal (see
Darwin, C. R. and Wallace, A. R. 1858. 'On the tendency of species to form
varieties; and on the perpetuation of varieties and species by natural means of
selection.' Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnaean Society of London). Neither Darwin nor Wallace cited Patrick Matthew's (1831) book '
On Naval Timber and Arboriculture' prior publication of the entire theory they each replicated (which, following Matthew's protestations in 1860, each later admitted he had discovered and published in full). In addition to replicated terminology and highly idiosyncratic explanatory analogies (see Sutton 2014,
Sutton 2017), Big Data research (see
Sutton 2015) reveals many newly discovered routes of possible Matthewian knowledge contamination of Darwin's and Wallace's supposedly independent conceptions of Matthew's prior-published origination. Ludicrously, Wallace - the species dealer and great ape killer who, incidentally, stupidly
believed adamantly in ghosts , the veracity of seances and even joined the pseudo-scientific
anti-vax movement - claimed his Eureka moment came during a bout of malarial brain fever (which is just totally ridiculous) and, the Galapagos Islands Finches Beaks Myth being completely debunked by
Sulloway (1982), we in fact know that Darwin claimed that his conception came about from nothing more than a slow synthesis from reading the prior-publications of others. And today we newly know, thanks to my discovery, that those others include Robert Chambers - a naturalist geologist and publisher who cited Matthew's 1831 book and then his later book '
Emmigration Fields' before writing his own guide on arboriculture and then a highly influential bestseller book on evolution '
The Vestiges of Creation' (see
Sutton 2015), a book which obsessed Darwin and, in his own words, most influenced Wallace.
Thanks to my research with the
Big Data IDD method we now newly know that, as opposed to the old Darwinite tale - started as a plagiarising glory theft lie told by Darwin to deny what he had been told by Matthew - of none, that a total of seven naturalists read and cited Matthew's (1831) book pre-1858 (See S
utton 2015 for an expert peer reviewed science journal article to get the independently verifiable New Data).
Wallace's original letter (
here) was doctored in his autobiography to remove the incriminating words ‘
immediately’ and ‘
assistance’. Get the story

The Linnean Society has a history of facilitating plagiarism debacles
In a
recent Linnean Society paper Dagg, whose blogs and online comments reveal he is apparently rather obsessed with several different areas of my work and read it all on this topic from 2014 onward - because he has commented on it ad nauseum - plagiarised my original (Sutton
2014a,
2014b) discovery that in 1842 Selby (Wallace's 1855 Sarawak paper editor) read and cited Matthew's (1831) prior published discovery of macroevolution by natural selection
He then bragged on Wikipedia (of all the seedy pseudo-scholarly places) to the malicious cyber stalker Derry that he failed to cite me.
Scholars interested in plagiarism and other academic misconduct can find the archived records of this shameful published behaviour and a great deal more on the relevant page on the Patrick Matthew website (
here).
Please be cautioned dear readers, because that page on PatrickMatthew.com contains an imbedded tweet and links to the Times Higher Education website archive of obscene abusive misogynist and anal insertion language published by Derry, who - incidentally - was dismissed from Edinburgh university for constantly weirdly harassing a young female teacher and many other people in Scotland, and officials of the National Lottery Heritage fund, for their association with my original new
IDD Big Data discoveries about Patrick Matthew. As the
PatrickMatthew.com page on Dawinite abuse and harassment reveals Derry has now escalated his weirdly obsessive cyberstalking harassment from harassing anyone who dares to write a positive review of my book to bombarding my friends, associates and leading criminologists and other academics with poison pen emails (some containing abuse language - many have been forwarded to me pending legal action) to now harassing one of my young female PhD students and also my co-author on the IDD method Professor Mark Griffiths. In his Linnean Society plagiarising paper Dagg thanks Derry for his help! In his Linnean Journal article, Dagg also thanks Mike Weale for his help. Weale, like Derry has attempted, also with absolute zero success, to harass me into silence on the significance of the New Data - and how other Darwinite academics have dealt with it badly by resigning from the editorial board of a science journal that published it - by emailing senior management at my university with ludicrous and childish malicious accusations. I will be addressing all these highly embarrassing disreputable issues before the press, academics and on camera in December 2018. See the embedded tweet below for details.

WALLACE WAS CLEARLY A CREDULOUS IDIOT (just like all the daft-as-a-brush scientists who unquestioningly swallowed his malarial fever cognitive enhancement rubbish), HE NOT ONLY BELIEVED IN GHOSTS AND SEANCES BUT WAS ALSO AN ARDENT PSEUDO SCHOLARLY ANTI-VAXXER
"
Wallace's statistics seemed impressive but the committee members found numerous errors that seemed unworthy of someone of Wallace's reputation. Not only did Wallace and his fellow anti-vaccinationists ignore statistics that failed to support their view but many of the statistical tables were highly selective (doubly embarrassing since Wallace had accused the pro-vaccinationists of doing the same thing).Wallace was caught off-guard by the findings and was forced to admit that many of the statistics that he had presented were worthless."
"Even in the 20th century, anti-vaccination societies continued to proliferate and attracted numerous "star" supporters including Wallace and George Bernard Shaw (who wrote that vaccination was "a particularly filthy piece of witchcraft"), as well as health faddists, anti-vivisectionists, trade unionists, etc."
