Discourses: Biological and Geological

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of biology and geology, this work by Thomas Henry Huxley delves into the principles of evolution and the development of life on Earth. Huxley presents a series of discourses that examine the evidence supporting evolutionary theory, emphasizing the importance of scientific inquiry and observation. His arguments challenge prevailing beliefs of his time, advocating for a naturalistic understanding of life's origins and the processes that shape the planet's biological diversity. The text serves as a significant contribution to the scientific discourse of the 19th century.
