From the inside flap: This book assesses the contribution made to both science and society by Julian Huxley on the centennial of his birth. Particular attention is devoted to his historical place in the development of the theory of biological evolution and to the seminal role he played in opening up a number of different fields of evolutionary study, especially genetics, behaviour, growth and anthropology. The book, however, is not exclusively historical, and the contributions review current knowledge about all aspects of evolution, including palaeontology. In the final section of the book Huxley's concerns with ethics and eugenics are evaluated as well as his role as first Secretary-General of UNESCO.
