From the rticle:
“Darwin’s View of Women
Darwin’s view of women is also clear: women were at a “lower level of development” than men, due to their “earlier arrest of individual evolution.”
Because women had smaller brains, Darwin believed them to be “eternally primitive,” childlike, less spiritual, more materialistic, and “a real danger to contemporary civilization.”[16]
In 2019 British cognitive researcher Professor Gina Rippon correctly observed the widespread idea of female inferiority existing today “goes all the way back to Darwin, who said that women are inferior because they have inferior brains.”[17]”
I don’t think anyone worships Darwin.
Hyperbole renders the whole thing meritless.
Interesting how Darwin and Marx triggered the destruction of Western Civilization in the 1860s.
A review boasts that over one million sources were consulted in the research for this volume.

So, after looking for billions of years, they found a stagnant pond and talked to all the amoeba.
Charles Darwin on Africans
”Since the dawn of history the Negro has owned the continent of Africa – rich beyond the dream of poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet and yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light.
His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled.
A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour.
In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.
With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail.”
The scientific community respects Darwin's accomplishments and his ideas reflected a line of reasoning that's proven to be exceptionally resilient and productive.
But his findings were eclipsed many, many decades ago by other researchers and have developed into today's evolutionary biology.
Current scientists' interest in him is a historical one but On The Origin Of Species isn't where anyone goes to learn about modern evolutionary science.
It may be hard to believe but his ideas are what have endured and proven useful, not him as a man, and his writings aren't considered to be received wisdom.
Darwin did not originate the theory of evolution. It exists in ancient Hindu texts. These texts were being translated and their content was being discussed in Europe long before Darwin came on the scene.
The great irony is that the theory has its basis in eastern religion.
Aside: our legal system was corrupted by the efforts of numerable men in the 19th century laying the foundations for lawlessness in the 20th.
One of these was C.C.Langdell ... who in many ways got his job at Harvard over the law school because he was a Darwinist.
old article with summary of similar things....

I honestly didn’t know this.
The Descent of Man book apparently assumed the white race was superior and had supplanted all the others like lower animals in the brutal evolutionary process of survival of the fittest. It’s a wonder the book isn’t burned by school districts.
Then to Dayton came a man with his new ideas, so grand,
And he said we came from monkeys long ago,
But in teaching his belief, Mr. Scopes found only grief,
For they would not let their old religion go.
You may find the new belief, it will only bring you grief,
For a house that's built on sand is sure to fall.
And wherever you may turn, there's a lesson you will learn,
The old religion's better, after all.
Vernon Dalhart, 1925
If the book does catalogue the true extent how Darwinism exacerbated racism, in general, does not catalogue the true extent how Darwinism influenced Eugenics, and does not catalogue the true extent how it influenced pre-WWII Hitler, Germany, Aryanism, etc., etc., etc., the book is nothing more institutionalized propaganda and utter rubbish.
Wasn’t it Darwin who said that the archeological record would uncover millions of fossils as evidence of transitional species?
...which has never happened
I suggest reading the whole article
. Darwin’s view of many peoples seems spot on
We are busy destroying civilization by grovelling before those who below an ouranutang.
