Thomas S. Huxley

Thomas S. Huxley was a 19th-century British scientist and educator known as "Darwin’s Bulldog" for passionately defending Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. He was an accomplished biologist who promoted scientific skepticism and rigor, and his work helped popularize the understanding of evolution. Huxley also played a key role in advancing science education and challenging religious dogma when it conflicted with scientific evidence. His persuasive speaking and writings made complex biological ideas accessible to the public, establishing him as a leading advocate for science in his time.
