Darwin's Sacred Cause

http://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Sacred-Cause-Slavery-Evolution/dp/0547055269

It is often charged that Charles Dawrin was a racist - this book by Adrian Desmond and James Moore shows how wrong and absurd that claim is. Actually Darwin was a committed abolitionist who set out to show that all humans are one species and prove the common origin of all mankind.

I don't see how you've got 6 thumbs down on this video. I don't see what's wrong with it o.O;

@CuriousMoth

I think there's some folks out there who have some kind of grudge against Darwin and then there's the one's who have a grudge against me...

[CuriousMoth]

@proudfootz Ah tell 'em where to stuff it :p Holding grudges never got anyone anywhere. We don't always like each other or what we have to say but people work best when they work together.

For once I have to agree, it's an amazing book.

@proudfootz Thank you. Yours was excellent too

I think this book does a good job digging into what motivated Darwin to study evolution - to show that all humanity is one family.

I have used your review for my online bookstore. I wanted to offer a better understanding of what

Darwin's true feelings were.
