Elisha Gray

Have you heard of Elisha Gray? 

Elisha Gray filed for a patent on the telephone the same day as Alexander Graham Bell. Gray is considered by some to be the true inventor of the telephone. Because of his failure to take any action to complete his patent, Gray was never credited with the invention — even though he was first to conceive of the innovation.

Have you heard of Alfred Wallace?

From the very beginning, Darwin and his colleagues managed every promotional aspect to gain status within the scientific community.
