This is a biography of T.H. Huxley (1825-1895) - Darwin's bulldog - who led a far more fascinating and outgoing life than the reclusive Darwin. He did battle with God and Gladstone, sat on Royal commissions and campaigned for elementary education. He carried Darwin's fight to the public and outraged the old order with his talk of apemen and the material basis of life.
