Re: Darwin: Savages and Negroes?
quote:
"Universal view"? So, Darwin's scientific observations were more closely related to the "universal view of his time" than actual science?
This is one of the most blatant non sequitors I've seen in years. How do you get from point A to point B? Are you saying that because Darwin was racist, he couldn't have been a good scientist? By today's standards, George Washington would be considered a racist. Does this mean he wasn't a good president? The Apostle Paul was a racist and a sexist. Does this mean we can finally throw out those wretched Pauline epistles?
