What an uncomfortably strange title by our modern perspective… I wonder, did he mean ‘favoured’ by nature and selection & therefore perpetual survival? The inevitable biological process that has existed for hundreds of millions of years? Because when we study the features favouring that survival within various groups of animals, we have no trouble looking at the idea of survival through this lens. Among humans, we actually know that eg, Neanderthals went extinct only 40,000 years ago… and yet otherwise very PC people ARE very comfortable Using words like Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon as an epithet, In a derogatory way etc., which is quite discriminatory to other humans. This does not add up. Latching onto the word “race” as a sole indicator of meaning does not parse the concerns very well.
The word photography didn't exist in the 1860's. They were types, a shortened word for the different processes of taking a photo. Daguerreotype and later tintype. What English speaker doesn't have trouble writing Daguerreotype? A typewriter doesn't write racist literature, it produces type. These photos show people.
I love how probably everyone at Cambridge university wants to pull down statues of anyone who was historically racist BUT They love darwin and give him a by ball, even going as far as being a shower of apologists.
@@ayeright1131 he sure was. But he was correct on discovering evolution. You don’t have to agree with Darwin’s racism or even his interpretation of science. There’s been a million other evolutionary scientists since him.
@@bigchest3949 W T F are U going on about. No one is discussing evolution, we are discussing racism. You do understand what this comment is about, don't you?? Was he a racist or not? YES he bloody well was, so let's rip his statues down and burn his books.
This is the real title of the racist book by darwin. The Origin of Species : The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life

Its crazy that the races that believe in race live the longest, are the smartest, and are the most civilized. Those who don't are the exact opposite

People don’t really love Darwin entirely. They agree with Darwinian evolution. He founded it.
