I love this. Here's a paper-puppet animation of the life of Alfred Russel Wallace - his explorations through the tropics and correspondence with Charles Darwin.
For those of you who don't know, Alfred Russel Wallace developed a theory of evolution and natural selection independently but around the same time as Darwin, wrote to Darwin about it, and spurred Darwin to co-publish a paper with him announcing the theory. This also made Darwin finally write his book The Origin of Species that he had been thinking about for decades because he knew he now knew he had competition!
