Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895) was a renowned British biologist and educator known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his strong support of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. He advanced scientific understanding through research, teaching, and public debates, effectively communicating complex biological ideas to both scientists and the general public. Huxley also contributed to anatomy and paleontology, and championed scientific education and inquiry. His efforts helped establish evolution as a fundamental principle of biology and fostered a greater appreciation for scientific reasoning in society.
