附二，演讲提要
The Life and Work of Julian Huxley (1887-1975)
Julian Huxley was a distinguished biologist and public servant. He was the grandson of Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), a close friend and supporter of Charles Darwin. His brother was Aldous Huxley who wrote the futuristic fiction Brave New World. Julian Huxley was a man of many parts: biologist, conservationist, author, explorer, administrator and humanist, as well as an occasional poet.
He believed in social justice and education and was a driving force behind the establishment of schools and universities in Africa. He was the first Director General of UNESCO in Paris during the years: 1946-48 and worked actively in the preceding years for its creation. He appointed Joseph Needham as the first Head of its Science Department and supported Needham’s close relations with China, publishing several volumes on Science and Civilization in China.
Huxley’s biological research led to pioneering discoveries in courtship behavior in birds, amphibian metamorphosis, relative growth, and rate-genes for eye color in Gammarus. His seminal work, Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942) was a masterly synthesis of evolutionary research from multiple disciplines which summed up the evidence for evolution at that time.
He was a field ornithologist of great distinction and promoted the conservation of rare species of birds and other life. He was primarily responsible for the establishment of wild life parks and reserves in Africa and elsewhere. Furthermore, he was mainly responsible for the establishment of the Internatonal Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 1948 under the auspices of UNESCO.
Huxley was a great humanist who believed in the great human potential for the betterment of society. He believed that Darwinian evolution has entered a new phase: psychosocial evolution which bridged the gap between the sciences and the humanities.
