What was the complete name of Charles Darwin's famous book?

@SW-User i agree

@SW-User [quote]he was indeed a racist[/quote]

That oft-claimed nonsense doesn’t merit anything except simple copy-paste from the Internet...

Darwin was born to a wealthy family in England, surrounded by British imperialism and one of the most ethnocentric societies in world history. Almost all of the “scientific” authorities, anthropological colleagues, and religious figures around him trumpeted the dogma that whites were the superior race and blacks the most inferior, a racist ideology that goes all the way back to Plato and Aristotle. Darwin was born into this environment, but he did not share those views. In fact, he was probably the most egalitarian and progressive man in the 19th century. He challenged the anthropological and social status quo and rejected the prevailing prejudices of his time. He also got into an argument with the Beagle’s captain, Robert FitzRoy, when the latter praised slavery while Darwin rejected it. Darwin often praised those he met from so-called primitive cultures, and said that the nicest man he had ever met was a military man of colour stationed in South Africa. He was not afraid to criticise people of his own ethnicity and frequently criticised his peers’ bigotry against subjugated people. He found every aspect of slavery abominable and wrote extensively against it. He opposed the genocide of indigenous peoples and opposed the societal favouritism and double standards of Caucasian invaders. He defined “savages” by their actions, not by their colour or race. In fact, he feared that his theory would be used as an excuse for racialism. Unfortunately, it was.

Darwin constantly criticised racist tendencies and questioned the idea of multiple races: he says that the label “race” is inadequately defined and not of any actual value regarding human beings, who are not sufficiently distinct to be considered separate species. While racists today try to claim that there is some kind of division between races (which there are none), Darwin said that our biased judgments against other people are superficial and erroneous, and that no matter how distinct other people may appear to European eyes, there is no consistent demarcation, because some Africans share traits in common with some Caucasians and the same is true of every other group. He said that every race blends into every other race so smoothly that it is impossible to determine any real division. He even pointed out that noted experts in could not agree how many “races” there were or how to categorise them. Before Darwin was born, the scientist Carl Linnæus (creator of Linnaean taxonomy) categorised humans into 6 different “races,” but Darwin criticised that too. He pointed out that not even the best authorities on the subject could agree on the number of races there were, and that some of his colleagues had proposed as many as 63 races!

@newjaninev2 in other words Darwin was a bigot and a racist and thought the black man was closer to the apes than the white man.

@hippyjoe1955 and you make that claim on the basis of what, exactly?

@hippyjoe1955 [quote]closer to the apes than the white man[/quote]

Difficult to see how, because humans [i]are[/i] apes

@newjaninev2 not a trip to saturn im sure.

@Reverend Well, given his obsession with the planet, it’s perhaps possible that Saturnians are beaming the information to him...

@newjaninev2 or not. But thanks for your response, ma'am.

@Reverend lol

@newjaninev2 So you have never read Darwin? He was you materialist prophet! Without him your whole existence is a sham.

@Harriet03 Telling the truth is a virtue.

@hippyjoe1955 I've seen your 'virtue' on the porn threads!
Nothing worse than a hypocrite!!!
