The Huxleys and global science, 1825–1975

该项目旨在加深我们对生命和地球科学如何在十九世纪和二十世纪为全球现代化做出贡献的理解。该项目将集中在两个主要的生物学家和进化论的传播者，托马斯亨利赫胥黎（1825-1895）和他的孙子朱利安赫胥黎（1887-1975）。它将询问赫胥黎提出的关于时间的变化性质，人类的深刻过去和遥远未来的问题，改变关于物种之间和物种内部差异的想法。通过这样做，该项目旨在更好地了解从前达尔文时代到高达尔文时代再到后达尔文时代的发展，以及从帝国科学到国际科学的重大机构和知识转变。

This project aims to deepen our understanding of how life and earth sciences contributed to global modernity over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The project will focus on two major biologists and communicators of evolutionary theory, Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895) and his grandson Julian Huxley (1887–1975). It will interrogate the questions that the Huxleys raised about the changing nature of time, the deep past and the distant future of humankind, shifting ideas about difference between and within species. By doing so, the project aims to better understand developments from pre- to high- to post-Darwinian eras, and the major institutional and intellectual shifts from imperial to international sciences.
