1863 1ed Huxley EVOLUTION Man's Place in Nature Darwin March of Progress APES

"Life is too short to occupy oneself with the slaying of the slain more than once."

– Thomas Huxley

Charles Darwin is unquestionably the most prolific evolutionist of the 19th-century; however, biologists such as Thomas Henry Huxley were important advocates for Darwin's studies. Huxley was best known for his studies on evolution, moral philosophy, and scientific ethics.

Huxley's "Man's Place in Nature" is an important work of evolution theories focusing on:

· natural history of the man-like Apes

· relations of Man to the lower animals

· fossil remains of Man

This book contains the famous 'March of Progress' illustration – the view of an ape skeleton into a human skeleton.
