저자에 대하여

Thomas Henry Huxley was an English biologist, known for his pioneering work in comparative anatomy and paleontology. He earned the nickname "Darwin's Bulldog" for his staunch defense of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, particularly during the debates surrounding the publication of 'On the Origin of Species'. Huxley's contributions extended beyond evolution; he was also instrumental in establishing the field of biology as a discipline distinct from natural history, advocating for scientific rigor and empirical research.

Huxley was a prolific writer and speaker, who sought to make science accessible to the public. He published numerous essays and books, including 'An Introduction to the Study of Zoology' and 'Discourses Biological and Geological'. His legacy is marked by his commitment to scientific education and his influence on future generations of biologists and naturalists. Huxley's efforts helped shape modern biology and education, leaving an indelible mark on the scientific community.
