Entry: The Right's Science Problem Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_rights_science_problem#17275 Post contents: Here's just one example that shows how ridiculous and mendacious it is, indeed, to think that race was any part of part of Darwin's thinking: "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. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. 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."
