My first ancester is named Adam.

How many genders did they have?
Basically, while the Christian abolitionist movement was growing in numbers and sympathy, atheists and some Christians used natural selection as a way of justifying why blacks should stay as slaves. Even after abolition the argument still pressed on as the former abolitionists were pushing for blacks to have equal rights (while the Darwinists pushed for blacks to be kept in their place, so to speak).
Even as recently as the civil rights movement to end segregation was more of the same ol argument of if blacks were created by God or if blacks evolved as a lesser evolved species.
We should all be glad the creationists won the arguments for freedom for everybody.
More of the BCE type crap.
This has ZERO to do with science.
And he people perpetrating it put me in mind of peasants with torches.
Darwin was an abolitionist.
I wanna see Homo Bodacious.
I know that dude!… His name is META.
Those two things are necessarily mutually exclusive.
Two minutes ahead of me...
As many as they wanted…..but only 2 procreated
So, the “good reason” for the new name, is that there is a new name for the era from which he comes?
That’ll keep the grant money coming in.
If he actually looks like this, then it shows that humans haven’t changed at all, in half a million years, also. There are people alive, today, who could be this guy’s brother. This seems to happen a lot. I don’t think evolution works the way that evolutionists think it does.
Or let Darwin's own "masterpiece" speak as I quote from On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life and also The Descent of Man.
"Savages are intermediate states between people and apes." I could go on and on with quoting Darwin's use of the word "savages" to make sure everybody knew what their place was in his worldview.
Regarding his observation of some red ants transporting black ants in their mouths and forcing them to work as slaves: "This ant is absolutely dependent on its slaves: without their aid, the species would certainly become extinct within a single year".
That stands in stark contrast to Theodore Weld's The Bible Against Slavery in which Weld said over and over that blacks are created by God just like whites, nowhere does he use the word "savages" like Darwin does countless times. Here's what Weld has to say in his book written decades before Darwin's:
"He that stealeth a man and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." (quoting Exodus 21:16 as a way to point out how the Creator hates slavery).
Or after quoting many parts of the Bible dealing with God creating man in His image, Weld wrote (bold-faced mine as I posted on FR): "So in Ps. viii. 5, 6, what an enumeration of particulars, each separating infinitely men from brutes and things!
I assert to you that as the Christian abolitionist movement was gaining steam, having already abolished slavery in England and was thiiisssss-close to abolishing slavery in another Anglo majority nation called the United States, Darwin pushed his Favoured Races book to undermine the basis of abolition when the abolitionist movement was at its highest.
What about that line in the Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" about "Pleistocene porters"?
It was “Plasticine”, a UK toy putty, similar to Play-Doh in the US.....
