Sarawak,golden land,chapter ( )

Where is Sarawak ? Why Sarawak is very special ?
Sarawak is situated at the north west region of Borneo island. Alfred Russel Wallace published
'The Law of Sarawak' in 1885.
Who is Alfred R Wallace and what 'law' is this.
He was the codiscoverer of Natural selection and had the great contribution to mankind with Charles Darwin.
Alfred Wallace spent 18 months in Sarawak and it is in sarawak he wrote 'The Law of Sarawak'
which formed the foundation for the understanding of modern evolution, Biological science leading to genetic study
and modern medicine link with impact of research for advance total heatlh.
His work lead to research of Earth science with understanding of diversity of all living things.
He is a friend of living things.
Sarawak, therefore is the source of friends of living things.
Sarawak is the birth place of the pioneering theory of Alfred Wallace's Evolution Research.

Why Sarawak became the place picked by Alfred Wallace for his heroic research of evolution ?
It linked with the special Glacial age or ice-age period that created Sundaland which included Borneo direct land link
with Asia continent. Imagine you were in Sarawak ten thousand years ago, the sea level is 390 feet lower than preset day sea level due to extensive ice formation over the earth. One could actually travel from Sarawak to Europe by land without any sea
such as present sea between Singapore and Sarawak.
What happen to the living things of Sarawak ?
Alfred Wallace picked the right spot with the help of Rajah James Brooke. Wallace firmly established his foundation of his theory of evolution in sarawak since the living things in Sarawak had the long period of time gone through natural selection and in contrast, compared to the living things of Australia, Alfred Wallace drew the conclusion.
The 'Wallace line' was declared and his research work was correct. The knowledge of his discovery is a proven tool
to future study and research.

Sarawak got the advantage of ancient rain forest and thus the diversity of living things.
Imagine the Glacial age or ice-age with sea water surface temperature around freezing point. At that time eastern part
of Sarawak was covered with tropical rain forest due to the warmer sea over the east and south of Borneo.
Imagine snow cap peak of mountain Kinabalu at present Sabah state of Malaysia. It is a beautiful sight to compare the two adjacent region.
Sarawak became the centre of Alfred Wallace evolution research.
Base on the collection of living species of Sarawak , alfred Wallace observed and applied his knowledge of analysis and
found the conclusion of natural selection. At that time, more than 150 years ago, very little study had been done for the deep
sea trench east of Borneo, which actually seperated Borneo from Australasia. Can we say Alfred Wallace
was lucky to meet Sir James Brooke and eventually followed him to Sarawak and Sarawak is the place near to the deep deep sea trench east of Borneo. the trench caused the different type of diversity of livings of both side of the deep sea trench that enable Alfred Wallace to compare and eventually drew the right conclusion.
Evolution Theory
Lucky ? actually Luck only applicable to those who are well prepared for it
