It is widely acknowledged that Darwinism contributed to the problem of nineteenth and twentieth-century racism. It is sometimes claimed, however, that Darwin himself was not a racist but rather that others misused and even misquoted his writings. In this paper I explore Darwin’s own views as recorded in his own writings. Darwin clearly held beliefs that today would be considered blatantly racist. It also is true that his writings made a major contribution to the problem of racism and were widely used to support racism. Darwin’s conclusions were in stark contrast to the historical Christian biblical view that all humans are siblings, descendants of the first humans Adam and Eve, who were created about six thousand years ago.
