You're right, he was around in the 1800s. What is the bookmaker model?
But this solves my curiosity then, darwinian views of race developed to accomodate for the moral cognitive dissonance people faced after centuries of slavery and colonialism. But colonialism in africa wad not popular until after darwin.
Keep in mind, while I don't accept his views of evolution, I am specifically talking about people taking that and considering africans and other non-whites as less evolved species that need to be unsavaged.
I did not absolve people of faith either, but missionairies for example Used the cause of conversion, but the faith does not allow for non-human conversion and it would be heresy to claim any human was not a descendant of both adam and noah.
It was partly or mainly for this reason why the underground railroad and other "racial" equality and anti-slavery movements up until the 1960s were all faith based movements. While the white supremacists considered anyone with 1/8th black in them inferior and less evolved (and they also do try to shim that darwinian view into protestanism)
Social Darwinism is a retroactive description of the colonial environment, not the religion that was used to tolerate it.
The religious model of racism is still very active today, I.e. see Louis Theroux visit with racists in South Africa.
There are race oriented people who want to divide things on race but are either inconsistent or their fears mean they understand that race does not limit capability and there are racist people who believe in inherent inferiority of races, the first tends toward social Darwinism the second to apply the justification "God gave us rule over the inherently more limited" to the "child" races. If you are standing in for a hellfire God where is the line on torture? If you are responsible for order delegated by God and can find normal human failings then you can run the plantation to your profit.
