About this Item

A collection of essays in which Julian Huxley explores how science-especially evolutionary biology-reshapes our understanding of human nature, religion, ethics, and society. Sir Julian Sorell Huxley (1887-1975) was a prominent 20th century British evolutionary biologist, eugenicist, and science communicator. A key figure in the "modern synthesis" of evolution, he was the first Director-General of UNESCO, co-founder of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and a leading proponent of secular, scientific humanism.
