The book explores intrigues behind the first presentation on Natural Selection at the Linnaeus Society meeting on July 1, 1858 where the manuscript was presented with Darwin's name first and Alfred R. Wallace's second. Yet Darwin had never written anything on Evolution, but only hinted that he had notes and started a manuscript prior to this date. He says he kept it secret. A few weeks prior to the Linnaeus meeting, Wallace in Indonesia had sent Darwin a full manuscript on Natural Selection with all the answers staring Darwin right in the face. The book traces the life of Darwin, a man of great inherited wealth, his anxieties, health problems, and especially his gratuitous fibs and changing dates to suggest he had the idea first. It pervades his writings which Darwinists ignored. It outlines the actual conspiracy and the aftermath. It had to come from a reputable person, endorsed by elite scientists, and the press. Darwin had it all. Wallace had nothing, despite being first.
