Henry Fairfield Osborn on Thomas Henry Huxley
← Back to Thomas Henry Huxley Profile
“From [1854] until 1885 Huxley's labours extended over the widest field of biology and philosophy ever covered by any naturalist with the single exception of Aristotle.”
“Huxley gave the death-blow not only to Owen's theory of the skull but also to Owen's hitherto unchallenged prestige.”
