PatrickHenry already did that, in post #324. You have been unable to answer his post, except in attempts to change the subject.

The subject was the proper "context," which, according to PatrickHenry was that Darwin was speaking of the fossil record. My reply:
"What, pray tell, is the proper "context" for this statement that is NOT racist, regarding the fossil record or anything else? Darwin quite clearly holds the Caucasian as man in the most civilized contemporary state, with negros and Australians being closer to a gorilla. He envisions a not-so-distant future, with a state of man even higher than Caucasian, with negros, Australians and gorillas having been exterminated."
The quote in question, from Darwin's "Descent Of Man," chapter six:
"The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised 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."
