JE:-
One of the reasons Wallace allowed Darwin to
take centre stage is because Darwin had done
most of the work developing a theory 
of evolution by natural selection. It is one
thing to come up with an idea but quite another
to spend 20 years investigating it. Priority
should be given to authors who spend time
and hard work testing their theories. Darwin's
single minded testing of his theory allowed
science to enjoy the fruits of his labours.
Wallace realised this leaving mostly Darwin 
et al to continue to debate evolution by
natural selection.
