Abstract
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) was one of the most important figures of Charles Darwin's day, yet most readers would view him mainly in terms of his clash over evolution with Bishop Wilberforce at the Oxford BAAS Meeting in 1860 or for his antireligious stance. Despite the book's subtitle, there was much more to the man and his accomplishments than his outspoken support of Darwin. Adrian Desmond's The Politics of Evolution and Darwin (with Jim Moore) have won him international awards.
