CA005.2: "Preservation of favoured races".
Legacy route: /indexcc/CA/CA005_2.html · Source: indexcc/CA/CA005_2.html
Claim CA005.2:
The subtitle of Darwin's Origin of Species refers to "the preservation
of favoured races," showing the racist nature of Darwin's ideas.
Source:
Response:
Race, as used by Darwin, refers to varieties, not to human races. It
simply points out that some variations that occur naturally survive
in greater numbers. Origin of Species hardly refers to humans at
all.
Evolution is not racist .
