[[newsletter20_header.png] October 1, 2020 [17671_5624e6ca4bb96789d1a7658ac27895d1.png] Chapter Three: Animals]( [READ ISSUE]( Dear Nautilus Reader, When Darwin demoted Homo sapiens from the top of the animal world, spurring outrage, biologist Thomas Henry Huxley rushed to Darwin’s defense. What’s seldom noted, though, as we point out this week in Nautilus, is Huxley’s defense contained a crucial error that launched humans on a path of environmental wreckage. Also this week, we put another spotlight on evolution to show how human microbes impact our health. And we ask how hallucinogens draw us closer to nature.
