Drawn from what Thomas Henry Huxley said
What Thomas Henry Huxley actually said
- Thomas Henry Huxley English biologist and advocate of Darwin's theory (1825 to 1895)
Social progress means a checking of the cosmic, process at every step and the substitution for it of another, which may be called the ethical process; the end of which is not the survival of those who may happen to be the fittest, in respect of the whole of the conditions which obtain, but of those who are ethically the best.
