Julian Huxley Sir Julian Sorell Huxley (June 22, 1887 - February 14, 1975) was a British biologist and author. He was a brother of the writer Aldous Huxley, his father was Leonard Huxley, and his paternal grandfather was the biologist T. H. Huxley. He was also a friend and mentor of the biologist Konrad Lorenz. Huxley was the first Director General of UNESCO and a founder of the World Wildlife Fund. He wrote popular science books, including Essays of a Biologist and Evolution: The Modern Synthesis. He was knighted in 1958. Huxley coined the terms "mentifacts", "socifacts" and "artifacts" to describe how cultural traits take on a life of their own, spanning over generations. This idea is related to memetics.
