[edit] Failed GA

This article failed to become a good article due to lack of references. --Pagrashtak 03:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

For consistency, there should be a photo for Julian in the main article, like there is for Andrew. In fact there is none for Aldous?!

[edit] Phrenology

Was it not Julian Huxley, who was a total racist and phrenologist? --Nemesis1981 20:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, you tell us. How was he racist and what was his interest in phrenology, and what are your sources? --Dannyno 13:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

My mistake. It was not Julian, who was a phrenologist, but he is in the family tradition. I will write more on him soon, with all relevant sources. --Nemesis1981 20:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Eugenetics secion

"Lysenkoism was dangerous because it stopped the artificial selection of crops on Darwinian principles, which eventually led to famine." If you follow the link on Lysenkoism the article seems to imply that Lysenkoism was in response to the famine and found its support in part as being a response to famine not so much as a contributing factor. This makes this sentence ambiguous - is it Lysenkoism or artificial selection "which eventually led to famine?" I don't have the background or knowledge to alter this in the article, but am bringing it up for someone who does. —Emnipass 15:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)Emnipass

[edit] The Huxley's family tree and other members, notably Francis Huxley

There is a book called The Huxleys, by Ronald W. Clark that is all about this family, with a lot of information, and photos. I would like to add this information, with some help. I would also like to add another generation, including Francis, a well-known living anthropologist and author. Whom should I contact about this? --Daniel Schwab
