That certainly would be a vast jump of analogical reasoning, from strains of finches to races of people, and not even Charles was willing to embrace all of what we call animal Darwinism today (e.g. he would admit the attribution of such a “perfected” thing as the eye to divine design). It seems that simplified stories are what we recount today, not the messy details.

The Neanderthals were the smartest...but they were randy as stoats and bred themselves out of existence.
