Whether Darwin believed that or not, I cannot say. I've never heard enough about this to know whether you're taking this out of context or not. To be fair, I guess that I'll have to do a little research and get back to you. If it proves true, I can't say that I'd totally disrespect the man and disregard his other achievements but it would lower my view of him a notch or two. Perhaps that was the pervailing theory of the time. :shrug What I CAN say is that those so-called scientific facts have sinced been proved not only false but absurd so your point about evolution and race is moot. Why bring it up? Unless you're saying that to know our current selves, we have to know the stupid mistakes of our past culture. I guess I can see that. What I can also say is the fact that you knew where to find that crap is frightening in and of itself.
