"The Darwinian Hypothesis" by Thomas Henry Huxley is a scientific exploration of Charles Darwin's theory, focusing on natural selection. Huxley, a biologist who supports Darwin, seeks to explain and protect Darwin’s ideas, which were controversial at the time. The publication looks at what makes up a species, the problems with organizing nature, and how living things change to fit their surroundings. Huxley walks through how traits pass down from parent to child and how those traits change over time, revealing how natural selection works through life's competition. Using examples from plants and animals, Huxley explains both human-guided breeding and natural selection, asking people to think about what evolution really means and pushing back against older, more traditional views on where species come from.
