Biology Q&A:

In 1942 Julian Huxley (1887-1975), the grandson of Thomas Huxley (a.k.a. Darwin's bulldog), published Evolution: The Modern Synthesis. This work, which used discoveries in the areas of population genetics and Mendelian inheritance to re-introduce Darwinian evolution, did much to reassert natural selection as the mechanism of evolution.
