The Darwin-Wallace Medal.
The Darwin-Wallace Medal is a medal awarded by the Linnean Society of London every 50 years, beginning in 1908, 50 years after the joint presentation by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace of two scientific papers - On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection - to the Linnean Society of London on 1 July 1858. It is awarded for "major advances in evolutionary biology".[1] In 2008 the Society announced they would henceforth award the medal annually.
