Julian Huxley, himself a very distinguished biologist, was the grandson of the famous Thomas Huxley, the biologist who championed Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution by natural selection, and the brother of the novelist and futurist Aldous Huxley. In addition to the word allometric, Julian Huxley brought several other new words and concepts into biology, including replacing the much-maligned term race with the phrase ethnic group.
