Edward Clodd (1 July 1840 – 16 March 1930) was an English banker, writer, and anthropologist who identified as agnostic and worked to make rationalism and science accessible to the masses[1][2]. He authored influential works such as *The Story of Creation: A Plain Account of Evolution* and biographies of Darwin, Thomas Huxley, and Herbert Spencer[2]. Clodd was a largely self-educated writer and an early aficionado of Darwin[2].
