Darwin himself admitted at times that mankind in small ways fitted his evolutionary theory the least of all creatures. Alfred Wallace, his contemporary formulator of the theory of evolution, was even more emphatic, and forthrightly said that man was an exception to the orderly operation of biological laws, and that natural selection could not have operated in his case. What the true answer was he hazarded no guess.
