Thomas Henry Huxley

Opis

Thomas H. Huxley was one of the first supporters of Charles Darwin s theory of evolution by natural selection, and he did more than any other writer to advance its acceptance among scientists and nonscientists alike. His most famous book, Man s Place in Nature, published only five years after Darwin s The Origin of Species, offers a compelling review of primate and human paleontology, and is the first attempt to apply Darwin s theory to human beings. As compelling a piece of analysis now as it was 140 years ago, Man s Place in Nature is a must for every science lover s library."
