Evolutionary Racism in Australia
Although modern evolutionists try to distance themselves from their own history, so-called scientific racism is intrinsically linked to evolution. Nobody is saying that evolution caused racism. People have found ways for groups to detest each other almost from the beginning.
Charles Darwin's Victorian myth had the epitome of evolution as the white Englishman, and darker people belonged to lesser races that were closer to apes, and destined to be eliminated by nature and higher races. After Darwin's writings appeared, racism was justified as scientific, and it increased a great deal.

An unusual book helps document the links between evolutionary thinking and an upsurge in racism in Australian colonial history.
