- Abstract:
The article discusses how Charles Kingsley's 1863 children's fairytale "The Water-Babies" alluded to the scientific debate between biologists Richard Owen and Thomas Henry Huxley about human evolution. Topics explored include the scientific uncertainties addressed by Kingsley in the book, the opposition expressed by Owen to the theory of evolution of biologist Charles Darwin, and the perception of Kingsley on the process of natural selection proposed by Darwin.
