In an Answers in Genesis article titled "Did Darwin Promote Racism?" we read the following:

"The full title of Darwin’s most famous work included some stark words: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.' Darwin envisioned the spontaneous formation of simple life evolving into higher forms through the pitiless forces of nature selecting the fittest.

"Darwin demonstrated how he believed evolution shaped man in his subsequent book 'The Descent of Man.' In it, he theorized that man, having evolved from apes, had continued evolving as various races, with some races more developed than others. Darwin classified his own white race as more advanced than those 'lower organisms' such as pygmies, and he called different people groups 'savage,' 'low,' and 'degraded.'

"Darwin wasn’t the first to propose biological arguments for racism, but his works fueled the most ugly and deadly racism. Even evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould wrote, 'Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory' (Ontogeny and Phylogeny, 1977)."

A young man named George twice passed by shaking his head as I held a sign in downtown Wimbledon that read: "Evolution is a Lie." On his second pass, he heeded my call to stop and talk.

It is important to note that I misspoke when talking to George. I asserted that Darwin's racism was developed in his book, "On the Origin of Species." It was actually developed in his subsequent book, "Descent of Man."
