problem-solving and learning, could enhance an
organism's chances of survival and reproductive
success. For example, the ability to learn from

could be advantageous.
Human Evolution: Huxley made significant
contributions to the study of human evolution and
the relationships between humans and other
primates. While he did not delve deeply into the
specifics of human intelligence, his work on the
comparative anatomy of primates and humans
contributed to our understanding of the
evolutionary history of our species.
Ethical and Philosophical Implications:
Huxley's writings also touched on the ethical and
philosophical implications of evolution, including its
potential impact on human conceptions of morality,
consciousness, and rationality. He engaged in
debates regarding the relationship between
evolution and ethics.
