                                         connections between Darwinism and
                                        things like eugenics is that they don't
                                        want the theory to be tarnished by its
                                       moral implications. But the implications
                                       are there, not only in the text, but as evi-
                                      denced in the social and moral effects
                                      Darwinism has had in the century and a half

                     As you'll see in the following chapters, many of Darwin's

                expressions and statements clearly reveal him to have been the
                original source of Social Darwinism. Modern evolutionists hesi-
                tate to accept these views on account of Social Darwinism's ter-
                rifying results in the 20th century. Yet competition, racism, and
                discrimination—fundamental
                elements       of      Social
                Darwinism—also lie at the
                basis of the theory of evolu-
                tion. Whether or not evolu-
                tionists accept the fact,
                these are the conse-
                quences of adopting
