Chuck Darwin

I heard a story today and decided to look it up.
In 1904, during the World's Fair, pygmies were kept in a cage with primates for exhibition. This was at the Bronx Zoo.
Australians who had not long been released in the wilds of their new home were hunting Aborigines for sport. Not to be cruel but that does give a different perspective to "Who Let the
Dawgs Out."
We all know that the nation is split over evolution and creationism. Is it just me or does belief in evolution often result in horror.
Hitler it is reported to have kept a copy of Darwin's book "The Origin of Species." close by.
I repeat from an earlier posting, this wasn't the full name of the book.

It was "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle For Life."

Now doesn't that sound more like Uncle Adolph and today's eugenics.
Come to think of it, being call scum could be a compliment from the right/wrong person.

I just don't have enough faith to believe in evolution.
