Near the Wulingyuan district of Zhangjiajie City, Hunan, China, saw a statue of evolution. I was so moved. I hope other countries erect evolution statues.
The other title of Darwin’s book is “The Preservation of favoured Races in the struggle of life ” west put this bit of scientific thought into practice especially Hitler and applied it to humans it was at the core of Western thinking from British Empire to Nazis. Combined with communism creates a deadly ideology many gassed etc
Darwin used an older definition of “races” than you are familiar with. The concept of species hadn’t fully become part the contemporary language of the time. As far as Hitler goes, they burned all of Darwin’s books as tinged by Jewish thought.
The theory of evolution is politically neutral. It’s human beings that twist science, spirituality, and social order in their pursuit of power. Much like you did in your post.
