About the Author

Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895) was English biologist known as “Darwin’s Bulldog” for his strong advocacy of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Huxley may be best known for his famous debate with Archbishop Samuel Wilberforce in June 1860, where he again defended Darwin’s theory.
