Arabella Burton Buckley was an English writer and science educator who became a prominent communicator of natural science. Active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, she is best remembered for her advocacy of Darwinian evolution, which she interpreted through a distinct intellectual lens.
Rather than focusing on the prevailing themes of physical survival and competition, Buckley emphasized the evolution of the mind and morals. Her unique perspective on evolutionary theory was highly regarded by Charles Darwin, who commended her ability to treat the subject with "much dexterity and truthfulness."
