(Thomas Henry) On the Reception of the 'Origin of Species' From Life and Letters of Charles Darwin Produced by Sue Asscher. HTML version by Al Haines. "On the Reception of the 'Origin of Species' by Thomas Henry Huxley" is a scientific publication authored by Professor Thomas Henry Huxley, a prominent figure in the field of biology during the late 19th century. In this work, Huxley discusses how Charles Darwin's seminal book, "The Origin of Species," was received by the scientific community and the general public after its publication. The text reflects on the contentious atmosphere surrounding the theory of evolution and the significant impact of Darwin’s ideas on biological science and philosophy. In this discourse, Huxley examines the initial backlash against Darwin's theories, highlighting the misunderstandings and criticisms from both religious and scientific circles. He characterizes the various critiques, ranging from ridicule to serious objections, including theological arguments against evolution. He contrasts those early negative responses with the eventual acceptance and integration of Darwinian concepts into scientific thought, showing how, despite initial resistance, Darwin’s work reshaped the understanding of life on Earth. Huxley provides insight into the evolving debate, emphasizing the importance of accepting scientific explanations based on evidence rather than tradition or dogma.
