After reading Darwin's _V
After reading Darwin's _Voyage of the Beagle_, he set out on a similar tropical expedition of his own,  but lost all of his work when the ship carrying his notes and specimens was destroyed by fire. Undeterred,  he then made an eight-year trip to Borneo, where he composed an essay whose conclusions were almost  identical to Darwin's still-unpublished _Origin of Species_. FTP, name this naturalist, who independently  discovered Darwinian evolution.
