advance of civilization, as in a letter to the scientist W. Graham
in July 1881:

I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing
more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to
admit. Remember what risk the nations of Europe ran, not so
many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how
ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilised so-called
Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle
for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what
an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated
by the higher civilized races throughout the world. 50
Darwin's racist nonsense extended even as far as the highly
moral and glorious Turkish nation. (For more about Darwin's
baseless and hostile statements regarding the Turkish nation,
and how they are historically and scientifically unfounded, see

Düflmanl›¤› (The Racist Face of the Theory of Evolution:
Darwin's Hostility Towards the Turks), Kultur Publishing,

In predicting the elimination of “lower races” according to

his own twisted lights, Darwin not only provided support for
racism, but also established an allegedly scientific foundation
for the race wars, slaughter and genocide to take place later in
the 20th century.
Evolutionists make great efforts to disassociate Darwin's
name from racism, but Harvard University's Stephen Jay Gould
admitted the support Darwin gave to racism in a reference to
The Origin of Species:
Biological arguments for racism may have been common before

1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the ac-
ceptance of evolutionary theory. 51
