Biography
William Henry Hudson was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist.
He was born in Quilmes, near Buenos Aires, Argentina. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier.
Hudson was an advocate of Lamarckian evolution. He was a critic of Darwinism and defended vitalism. He was influenced by the non-Darwinian evolutionary writings of Samuel Butler, and was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
