It's funny because Darwin was like the only guy working on theories of evolution at the time that wasn't unfathomably racist. He actually got super distressed when people starting twisting his words to support eugenics.

Through Charles Darwin’s work, he provided a supposed scientific justification for a very particular kind of racism. He wrote some despicable things in his book, The Descent of Man, that led to all kinds of horrific atrocities. #charlesdarwin #answersingenesis #evolution

Darwin still had the bias of a wealthy Victorian man, he wasn't a saint. My point is that, for the era, he was remarkably progressive. He argued all humans were equal at a time when European scientists were trying to prove black people evolved from Gorillas.

@chizzzzzo No, but his ideas were put forward as "proof" that Non-Europeans were less evolved than whites, which was used as justification for human zoos. Darwin himself was staunchly anti-slavery.

@chippel Well, no. No he wasn't. He was raised Catholic, but as he grew older he began to identify as agnostic. In the later years of his life he would skip church and go on walks instead. According to his letters, grappling with his waning belief in God was a big part of his late life.

#PrehistoricPlanet This is such a tearfully melancholic moment. The old Alamosaur doesn't die from a space rock or a T. rex pack, he just... lays down. His life is long and his body is old, he can't make it any longer, so he lays down on a serene beach and falls asleep.
