yes I believe Darwin was a great thinker even when he conjectured that darker skinned people were less evolved than lighter skinned people.

Then you are the one consistent evolutionist I've run into. Every other time I've asked that question, all I've gotten is sputtering and fuming. Often, I've been told that Darwin never put forth such a conjecture.

The reason is that "less evolved" isn't a Darwinian concept. Nothing is more evolved or less evolved in a qualitative way. You can say more evolved quantitatively if you simply mean more evolutionary steps.

It’s pretty obvious anyways. At least as a species the darker skinned don’t compare to the lighter skinned.

On an individual level however some can compare.
