Darwinism and social evolution.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution

The Evolution of Racism: human differences and the uses and abuses of science by Pat Shipman. Simon & Schuster. 1994, 318.

This book examines the evolution of a theory (Darwin's evolutionary theory). Darwin's theory had not only been used as a product to open the mind to a more scientific outlook, but it had also been used as a weapon to support Nazis and the idea of genetic, social capabilities. Pat Shipman had sought out these evolved theories, which had derived from Darwin's original theory. Moreover, this book explained the flaws of the many theories and where the original thinkers went wrong, by developing a foundation, which would later be used for segregation with a justified reason. The author wants to state the obvious the on going fight that is worth nothing, but an egoistic battle of right and wrong; of society and man, of intelligence and feebleminded.

A picture that had involved survival of the fittest survival of the intellects, and destruction of the weak and feebleminded.

Charles Darwin was the originator of the theory of evolution, believing that just as animals had, humans evolved from one mother species (apes). However, he did not specify whether, or not, humans had divided...
