Correct Answer:

1859

Explanation:

Charles Darwin(1809-1882) was an English naturalist. In 1831, Darwin got an opportunity to travel on H.M.S. Beagle (a ship in which Charles Darwin sailed around the world) for a voyage of world exploration. Alfred Russel Wallace(1823-1913), another English naturalist, also travelled widely, and studied the fauna and flora of South America and South East Asia. Evolutionary ideas similar to those of Darwin developed in wallace’s mind. The thinking of both Darwin and Wallace in respect of organic evolution was similar. In 1859, Wallace’s paper and a summary of darwin theory together appeared in the journal of the proceedings of Linnean Society. Finally in 1859,Darwin published his observations and conclusions under the name ” Origin of species by Natural Selection”.
