Charles Darwin's Theories Of Natural Selection
In the early 19th Century anthropologist used Charles Darwin's theories of natural selection to explain the divides in different humans.
The idea that the strong will always win over the weak only works in less complex species. Darwin's theories of natural selection do not work when it comes to mankind , so the concept of social Darwinism was created. This allowed scientist of the time to keep backing outdated ideas by saying some groups of people are naturally better off than others by looking at their social status. In my opinion I find this strange because status is just a word people made up to describe who is better off. I do not agree with Darwin's theories on social Darwinism. I believe them to be gap filler from testable science
