Huxley. From the Proceedings of the Royal Society, vol. 44The Wedgwoods of Etruria : Darwin's GenealogyDarwin On Race and Slavery : So, was Darwin a racist? By today's more enlightened standards he probably was, in that if you were to ask him straight out if Europeans were intellectually superior to non-Europeans, he would no doubt have said that they are. In this, he was a man of his time and place. This had nothing to do with his evolutionism because there were many creationists at the time, Louise Agassiz for example, who not only considered non-Europeans inferior, but who denied that whites and blacks were even the same species!About Darwin : A website on the life and times of Darwin.

Volume 1, 1830; Volume 2, 1832; Volume 3, 1833Lyell's three volume work was a tremendous influence on Darwin's intellectual development.
