LOL.
Darwin did no such thing.

1. He was a naturalist aboard the ship. Nothing more.
2. Captain Robert Fitzroy was responsible for any slaves brought on board during the ship’s “second voyage”.
3. Darwin objected to slavery and was rebuked by Fitzroy and the rest of the ship’s compliment.

But, hey, it makes a good story, so go with it.

I was giving another example of the drummed up hatred for a scientist.

But this is the second one of my sarcastic posts to be misunderstood in the last couple days.
I am going to have to tag them all with a tag from now on. :)
