Well...isn't that clever. Go find a British dictionary circa 1859 and look up the word "race." Then get back to us, OK?

They rarely do research, so I'll help out. Darwin used the word interchangeably with "species" and "sub-species." He even explained that, due to the continuum of living things, there was often no clear dividing line, as with the difference between a village, a town, and a city. There's no crystal-clear way to draw a line in close cases.

Certainly you must know that Eugenicists from Margaret Sanger to Hitler have used Evolution to excuse their evil schemes.

The fact that races can mean more than - but still include - differences in human development does not take away from that fact.
