The naturalist Charles Darwin is usually credited with originating the classic Theory of Evolution. However, the American naturalist and biologist Alfred Russel Wallace actually devised a theory that species evolve over geologic time into other distinct species years prior to Darwin publishing his theories. Wallace's Line is a hypothetical boundry that separates the highly distinctive floras and faunas of the Oriental and Australian biogeographic regions and passes between the islands of Bali and Lombok in Indonesia, between Borneo and Sulawesi, and between the Phillipines and the Moluccas.
