Political evolutionists, by ignorance or intent, use only a portion of the title of Charles Darwin’s book. The full title is “The Origin of Species and The Superiority of the Races.” Whoops...that doesn’t fit the liberal agenda.

Sorry, but no. The full title of the first edition of the book was: “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.” Darwin doesn’t even talk about human beings in the book. The word “Race” in the title is used in the 19th Century Victorian English sense, as in a group of animals that can interbreed. Modern readers who obviously haven’t read the book and regard Darwin as some kind of comic-book super-villain see the word “race” and point and sputter, but Darwin wasn’t referring to what we now term human races.
For the sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to “The Origin of Species.”
