Thomas H. Huxley

Author Bio:

Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895) was a British biologist, anthropologist, and educator, often called "Darwin's Bulldog" for his unyielding defense of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Born in Ealing, England, he was largely self-educated, excelling in science and medicine. Huxley made significant contributions to comparative anatomy, particularly in studying marine invertebrates and vertebrate evolution. A prolific writer and lecturer, Huxley actively promoted scientific education, serving on the London School Board and striving to make education widely accessible.
