  Darwin-Wallace 1858 Paper on Evolution: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Busk, a retired surgeon of the Royal Navy, was at the time the Hunterian Professor at the Royal College of Surgeons (1856-1859, a position also held by Owens and Huxley at other times), a member of the Royal Society (elected in 1850), and a scientist who was interested mainly in comparative anatomy.
Busk and Darwin were probably already acquaintances prior to 1858, but the two certainly came in contact in August of 1863 when illness forced Darwin to consult Busk on the matter of a stomach ailment.
Busk was a close friend of Thomas Huxley and in 1853 the two jointly published Manual of human histology, a translation and edited version of a book in German by Albert Kölliker.

Whether the cavern in which they were found, unaccompanied with any trace of human art, were the place of their interment, or whether, like the bones of extinct animals elsewhere, they had been washed into it, they may still be regarded as the most ancient memorial of the early inhabitants of Europe." Mr.
Busk's 'Crania typica,' have a very different, greatly elongated form, and may be termed 'oblong.' In this skull the extreme length is to the extreme breadth as 100 to not more than 67, and the transverse diameter of the human skull may fall below even this proportion.

It seems more natural to draw the conclusion that the resemblances of the Phylactolaemata to Phoronis are devoid of phylogenetic significance.
Vibracula are of less frequent occurrence than avicularia, with which they may coexist as in Scrupocellaria, where they occur on the backs of the unilaminar branches.
In the so-called Selenariidae, probably an unnatural association of genera which have assumed a free discoidal form of zoarium, they may reach a very high degree of development, but Busk's suggestion that in this group they " may be subservient to locomotion " needs verification.

 The Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History:
If science was to understand the anatomical and morphological peculiarities of Aboriginal people before they disappeared through death and miscegenation, it had to obtain "racially pure" bodies in sufficient numbers to meet contemporary standards of scientific proof.
By the end of the 1860s notions of Aboriginal "primitivity" "instinctual savagery" "animal treachery" and, of course, the ubiquitous tag "unfitted for survival" were all readily invoked by settlers to justify meeting Aboriginal resistance with indiscriminate murder.
And, contrary to Busk's assertion, there was no outcry by scientific figures when, on a number of occasions between the mid- 1860s and 1890s, science became the direct beneficiary of murder.
