| Wallace throughout his life continued to support and extend the scope of Darwin's theory of evolution via the mechanism of natural selection. One of his works, ''Darwinism'' , was often cited in support of Darwin's theory. He also worked to elaborate and extend Darwin and his ideas on natural selection. However, Wallace also realized that the scope and claim of the theory was limited. Darwin himself had limited it. | | Wallace throughout his life continued to support and extend the scope of Darwin's theory of evolution via the mechanism of natural selection.

| In examining this aspect, excluded ''ab initio'' by Darwin, Wallace came to the conclusion that ''Life'' itself cannot be understood except by means of a theory that includes "an organising and directive Life-Principle." These necessarily involve a "Creative Power", a "directive Mind" and finally "an ultimate Purpose" (the development of Man). It supports the view of [[John Hunter (surgeon)|John Hunter]] that "life is the cause, not the consequence" of the organisation of matter. Thus, life precedes matter and when it infuses matter, forms living matter (protoplasm). | | In examining this aspect, excluded ''ab initio'' by Darwin, Wallace came to the conclusion that ''Life'' itself cannot be understood except by means of a theory that includes "an organising and directive Life-Principle."

− | 在研究这个被 Darwin 从一开始就排除在外的方面时,Wallace 得出的结论是,"生命" 本身不能被理解,除非通过一种包括 "组织和指导生命原则 "的理论。这些都必然涉及到 "创造性的力量"、"指导性的心灵" 和最后的 "终极目的"(人的发展)。它支持[[John Hunter (surgeon)|John Hunter]]的观点,即 "生命是物质组织的原因,而不是结果"。因此,生命先于物质,当它注入物质时,形成了有生命的物质(原生质)。
