Darwin's work refers to "preservation of favoured races" (Talk.Origins)

Claim CA005.2:


 * The subtitle of Darwin's Origin of Species refers to "the preservation of favoured races," showing the racist nature of Darwin's ideas.

CreationWiki response:

It is assumed that the T.O. author's responses are simply based on his own opinion.

Unless the author expands on this point and offers some convincing evidence to support it, there is no reason to believe it's anything more than his own opinion. And "hardly at all" is a highly subjective description.

See our own CA005 and CA005.1 responses. In this argument, this statement is a red herring since the claim is simply that the title of Darwin's book implies racism.
