“PRESERVATION OF FAVORED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE”
You never hear that subtitle for “The Origin of Species” written by Charles Darwin. The outward racist beliefs of Darwin are never talked about or mentioned when genuflecting to his evolutionary theories. His views grew roots in the fertile soil of hatred in the twentieth century and allowed for the extermination of our fellow man because of a self appointed superiority.
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian and the gorilla. ”
~ Charles Darwin, “Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex”
“I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilised man… Viewing such men, one can hardly make oneself believe that they are fellow-creatures, and inhabitants of the same world. It is a common subject of conjecture what pleasure in life some of the lower animals can enjoy: how much more reasonably the same question may be asked of these barbarians!”
~ Charles Darwin, “Voyage of the Beagle”
