The evolutionary view, as you said, assumes that today’s man is more advanced than “ancient” man,
and by extension, that we are still evolving and that some are “more evolved” than others.
This leads directly into leftist ideology, where some “elites” are more advanced, morally and intellectually, and have a duty to shape society with their superior abilities.
Why yes. There should be an evolving of moral superiority too. More humaness as it were. Darwin was certain the morality of an Englishman like himself was much higher than the “primitive” dark skinned races.
As you say, the “smart” folks will take care of us, the reprobate masses.
oh happy day.
