‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life’ Darwin
The Origin of Species arrived a year before that prejudice conviction. In it, Wallace compared famine conditions in Ireland with the largest empire the world had known, in this case, industrial England.
All the attempts to make it a false 20th-century American variant of science versus religion variant will fail as it is an opportunity to undo Victorian natural selection prejudice from the minds and education of humanity based on ‘races’.
@Gerald Kelleher: what
The million who died on this island due to the conviction of Malthus as an antecedent for natural selection is purposely ignored by these fact checkers.
The intermediaries or ‘missing link’ between white complexion humans and gorillas were African and Australian natives and hope for their extermination.
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.” — Charles Darwin (1871)
