About the author
Born in Chester in 1856, Henry Neville Hutchinson was an Anglican clergyman who became known for writing popular science. Sources consistently describe him as one of the better-known late-Victorian popularizers of geology, palaeontology, evolution, and anthropology, especially in the 1890s.
He was educated at Rugby School and St John's College, Cambridge, and is also noted as the son of Thomas Neville Hutchinson, a clergyman and amateur naturalist. That mix of religious training and natural-history interest shows up clearly in his career: alongside clerical work, he wrote books that explained prehistoric animals, mountains, and human origins for non-specialist readers.
Among the works most often associated with him are Extinct Monsters, The Story of the Hills, and Prehistoric Man and Beast. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no profile image is included here.
