Did you know? Charles Darwin, Icon of Anti-racism

Did you know that Charles Darwin was one of the most important anti-racists of all time, because of his explanation of the origin and evolution of species through natural selection? Indeed, evolutionary theory, which is the basis of all biological science, implies a necessary kinship among all living beings which have evolved from a single common ancestor. The various human races are only imprecise categories distinguished from each other by rather vague boundaries. Their commonalities are much more important than their differences.
