→华莱士的进一步思考 Wallace's further thoughts
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.

华莱士一生都在支持和扩展 Darwin 的基于自然选择机制的进化论的范围。他提出的 ''达尔文主义'' 经常被引用来支持达尔文的理论。他还致力于阐述和扩展达尔文及其关于自然选择的思想。然而，华莱士也意识到，该理论的范围和主张是有限的。达尔文本人也对其进行了限制。
<blockquote>
the most prominent feature is that I enter into popular yet critical examination of those underlying fundamental problems which Darwin purposely excluded from his works as being beyond the scope of his enquiry. Such are the nature and cause of Life itself, and more especially of its most fundamental and mysterious powers - growth and reproduction …

最突出的特点是，我对达尔文有意从他的作品中排除的那些根本性问题<font color="#32CD32">进行了通俗而批判的考察</font>，因为这些问题超出了他的考察范围。如生命本身的性质和原因，尤其是生命最基本和最神秘的力量——生长和繁殖…
Darwin always ... adduced the "laws of Growth with Reproduction," and of "Inheritance with Variability," as being fundamental facts of nature, without which Natural Selection would be powerless or even non-existent …

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).

a very well-founded doctrine, and one which was often advocated by John Hunter, that life is the cause and not the consequence of organisation ... if so, life must be antecedent to organisation, and can only be conceived as indissolubly connected with spirit and with thought, and with the cause of the directive energy everywhere manifested in the growth of living things ... endowed with the mysterious organising power we term life ...<ref name="Wallace"/>

一个非常有根据的学说，也是 John Hunter 经常倡导的学说，即生命是组织的原因而不是结果 ...... 如果是这样，生命一定是组织的前奏，而且只能被认为是与精神和思想密不可分地联系在一起的，而且是与在生物的生长中处处体现的指导性能量的原因联系在一起的 ...... 被赋予了我们称之为生命的这样一种神秘的组织力量 ......

Wallace then refers to the operation of another power called "mind" that utilizes the power of life and is connected with a higher realm than life or matter:
