Thomas Huxley
Thomas Huxley (1825-1895) was an English biologist and anthropologist, often referred to as 'Darwin's Bulldog' for his vigorous defense of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. A prominent figure in the scientific community of the 19th century, Huxley made significant contributions to the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology, and he was instrumental in advocating for the acceptance of evolutionary theory. His public debates and writings helped to popularize scientific ideas and challenged traditional views on creation. Huxley's work not only advanced biological science but also laid the groundwork for modern evolutionary thought.
