A lion cub and a room full of children - what could possibly go wrong? This photo is from Julian Huxley’s 1937 Christmas Lectures ‘Rare Animals and the Disappearance of Wild Life’

Julian Huxley was born on this day in 1887. A passion for evolutionary biology clearly ran in the family - he was the grandson of Thomas Henry Huxley, AKA ‘Darwin’s Bulldog’ for his staunch and loyal support of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.
