I'm sure you of course realize that favoured races in this context has absolutely nothing to do with races of humans. This means the Dodo bird was not a favored race (species) of bird. Being that all humans no matter their race can interbreed it is not the same thing. Nice try though.

"Being that all humans no matter their race can interbreed it is not the same thing."

Ah, but that's a recent evolutionary change. Up until the middle of the last century, it was impossible for members of different races to interbreed in several states in this country.

More proof of evolution...

It does not exclude races of humans at all.

In The Descent of Man, Darwin wrote:

"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes [that is, the ones which look like the savages in structure] . . . will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.1 "

Do you feet better about yourself now?
