Known as 'Darwin's Bulldog', the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley
(1825-95) was a tireless supporter of the evolutionary theories of
his friend Charles Darwin. Huxley also made his own significant
scientific contributions, and he was influential in the development
of science education despite having had only two years of formal
schooling. He established his scientific reputation through
experiments on aquatic life carried out during a voyage to
Australia while working as an assistant surgeon in the Royal Navy;
ultimately he became President of the Royal Society (1883-5).
Throughout his life Huxley struggled with issues of faith, and he
coined the term 'agnostic' to describe his beliefs. This
nine-volume collection of Huxley's essays, which he edited and
published in 1893-4, demonstrates the wide range of his
intellectual interests. Volume 7 features a collection of lectures
discussing the biological relationship of humans to apes and other
animals.
