		Huxley clashed with his great rival Owen in one of the main sessions, over the resemblances between human and gorilla’s brains; he loved a good fight, and had assured Darwin (who was too ill to come) that he had been sharpening his beak and claws.
		Huxley replied that he would rather be descended from an ape than from someone who made fun of the honest endeavours of men of science; and went on to give some arguments for evolution.
		Huxley might be thought somewhat racist in our day, but in his he was not: he became President of the Ethnological Society, committed to belief in the unity of mankind, and then saw it through to a reunion with a purged Anthropological Society, as the Anthropological Institute, in 1871.

		Huxley to sum up his deductions from (on that time) contemporary developments of metaphysics about the "unconditioned" (Hamilton) and the "unknowable" (Herbert Spencer).

	Huxley \| Thomas Henry \| 1825-1895 \| man of science
		Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), popularly known as 'Darwin's Bulldog' because of his defence of the theories of Charles Darwin (1809-1882), was a much more complex person than this simplistic image of an unquestioning defender of Darwinism would suggest.
		Aged 14, Huxley attended a post-mortem, and seems to have caught a disease or poisoning (the nature of which is not known precisely) that affected his health for the rest of his life, requiring occasional recuperative trips to the countryside.
		Huxley was, however, not completely unthinking in his praise, in 1862, in his address to the Geological Society, he announced that he saw natural selection as a hypothesis, as there was not yet any evidence of specialisation of animals through the eras, which the theory of natural selection predicted.

(In fact, the future paleontologist was five by the time Huxley wondered — he was Eugène Dubois.)
