Synopsis

Thomas Henry Huxley was a 19th century British biologist known as Darwin's Bulldog. Huxley's famous 1860 debate with Samuel Wilberforce was a key moment in the wider acceptance of evolution. Huxley was instrumental in developing scientific education in Britain. He became perhaps the finest comparative anatomist of the second half of the nineteenth century even though he had very little schooling and was primarily self-taught. Hasisadra's Adventure is an article published in the Nineteenth Century. Huxley first discusses the Babylonian legend of The Flood written on clay tablets. This earlier description of the Flood is much simpler and much closer to probability. The majority of the articles deal with the geological and geographical results that would come with such a flood. Huxley concludes that the miraculous should not be denied as impossible.
